Gourds have been used as long as 14,000
years ago, in all parts of the world where
weather was warm enough for their growth.
Hard-shell gourds were used as containers
for liquids and food, as well as utensils,
musical instruments and as items of
adornment.
They are members of the squash family and
after being left in the field to dry, they
are harvested and ready for their wooden
shell to be cleaned and decorated.
Yvonne’s mother, Carol Y. Cherry, says that,
“Each gourd has it’s own spirit and a design
within it. Some gourds shout and others may
whisper.” Carol creatively endeavors to
develop and emphasize that design to create
a work of art that makes the gourd and
artist proud. Each beautiful work of art is
originally designed and crafted to please
the senses with shape, subtle natural hues,
intricacies and story lines. Her
one-of-a-kind works of art now reside in
many parts of the world...order yours today.
Caring for your Gourd: Given minimal
care, a cured gourd will last indefinitely.
Treat the gourd as you would a fine piece of
furniture. Dust with a soft cloth and keep
out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
