Gourd art at its best! March 16, 2006
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I really learned a lot about gourds as fine art by reading this book. It is tells you about many of the techniques used by these award winner gourd artists. Large color photos that go step-by-step and helpful hints make you feel like the artists are right there teaching you. Email addresses are listed at the end of book to enable you to contact the artist for help. I emailed a few of the artists and the artists answered. Get this book if you want do work on gourds!

I have a rather large collection of gourd books and regulary make reccomendations to beginners as to which books might help them the most. Last year I formed a local gourd club, which numbers over 20 members, at our February meeting I passed my new book Beyond The Basics around and over half of them ordered the book. Most of them ordered from Amazon as the price was unbeatable. At this months meeting everyone was talking about the inspiration they gained from this beautiful book. Great photos and clear instructions that even I can follow with results that garner rave reviews.

This was an exellent book! The pictures were detailed and with explicit color. Very informable and the instructions for each project easy to understand! I go through it every time I sit to paint or woodburn on a gourd, its almost wore out! I can't wait to order more books from Amazon. The prices are great and the reviews are great as well. Thankyou, Vicki Gonzales - GOURDABLES, etc.,
Beautifully illustrated and full of information November 25, 2005

Well, I must admit I am biased (I'm one of the featured artists), but I do think that David MacFarlane and Sterling Publishing did a wonderful job with this book. Check it out for yourself!
It features over 24 top gourd artists, including Jennifer Avery, Latana Bernier, Rosalind Bonsett, Carla Bratt, Barbara Carpenter, Jenni Christiansen, Lisa Conner, Emily Dillard, Debora Easley, Bonnie Gibson, Geri Gittings, Gourd Artist's Guild, Barbara Holman, Cindy Lee, Melynda Lotven, Anne McGillivray, Jan Meng, Mira Mickler Moss, LInda & Opie O'Brien, Dyan Mai Peterson, Colleen Platt, and Kitty Riordan.
This book is generously illustrated throughout with beautiful color photos. It is full of art, projects, instructions, information and techniques. A must have for anyone interested in gourd art!
