Welcome to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library

Project Library: Gourd Art

Check out the library's show and tell!  Project Library is an ongoing column featuring creations by you inspired by library books, movies, music, art, tools, or services.  Check out this week's featured project on Gourd Art submitted by Nancy.

“Checking out every gourd art book we have is what got me started on my gourd art journey. I was searching for a new creative outlet and saw the book The Decorated Gourd by Dyan Mai Peterson. I was hooked! This is the first book that inspired me. My dream is to someday be as good as this artist. I created the gourd on the top right after reading The Decorated Gourd. One of the latest books on gourds has projects from many gourd artists. This book also has made me want to write my own gourd book. A project I'm starting this winter. The gourd on the bottom right was inspired from this book, Beyond the Basics: Gourd Art by David Macfarlane.”
