The art of Gourd carving has been practiced in Peru for over 4000 years. It is used to tell stories using ancient symbols. Each gourd is hand carved and can take up to 6 months to complete one. Just so beautiful they make excellent souvenirs!

My latest order from my Etsy shop, shipped today to Washington state. The little “fingernails” on the bowl were chip carved, using a hand woodworking tool rather than power. Then I dyed the gourd; and the chipped part soaked up the dye to become dark. The leaves were power carved afterwards, leaving them a lighter color. And the star of the show— the turquoise stone — is framed and highlighted by the chips. #kaysoffhergourd #madeinga #madeinthecsra #madeinaugustaga #gourdart #gourdsarefun #gourddecor #gourdbowl
