Book is just as the title descibes. Beautiful photos. Lovely book. A great addition for the gourd lover.
 Beyond the Basics: Gourd Art November 3, 2006
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. In fact I look at it all the time. The information provided in this book has been invaluable to me and my attempt to learn Gourd Art.
A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION August 5, 2006

I feel the greatest strength of this work is it's ability to inspire. Even though I have been involed in working with gourds for quite a number of years now, I in no way produce work such as we find presented in this book. This is good. It has shown me just how far this particular art form can be taken. I have gathered a great many ideas from it's pages. The illustrations are wonderful, and, as I said, quite inspirational. It should certainly be noted though that the title of the book certainly says it all when it states "Beyond the Basics." That it most certainly is! This is one you will probably want to add to your collection as it is good to refer to to let you know just how far you can indeed go. Highly recommend this one.
This book is definitely "Beyond the Basics" July 30, 2006

The artwork in this book went beyond the ordinary. I enjoyed reading about the professional artists and seeing photos of their finished works. I especially liked the projects with detailed information on the techniques that they used. Definitely a great book to help a gourd artist get new ideas in developing his/her own unique style.
Great Gourd Book March 17, 2006
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is a great book for any level of gourd artist. Not only does it showcase many different artists and styles, it also has a step-by-step project from each one of them. As a gourd artist and president of our local gourd club I am always looking for new material to use or to present to our club. This is one of my favorite books, and I do have all the gourd books I can get my hands on. When I took my copy to our meeting many of our members couldn't wait to get a copy of their own.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in working with hard-shell gourds.
