Happy Memorial Day!

Summer's here!  To me this is the official start of summer. The months ahead are full of sunshine, heat and lots and lots of busy, busy days. This is my production time for upcoming fall shows. Visit the gourd farm to collect my hand-picked gourds which will be cleaned, carved, painted,k sculpted and transformed into everything Halloween. So if you have a hankerin' for something whimsical and full of delight you have come to the right place. Check back often for I will be posting new creations as they evolve.

Here's to wishing everyone the best of summer and all the family, friends and fun that come with it.
