"I just wanted to take this time to let you know how excited and pumped I am. This is the first time that I have used the transparent dies and I am so amazed at the difference in my colors. It's brought a spark back into my heels and a whole lot of spark into my gourd work. Thank you for having the quality of products that you do and I hope you can keep up with the demands. Thanks for always being there and having the quality that I trust in." - Willie Yepez

With GourdMaster Transparent Acrylics you get the rich colors and work-ability you might find in an acrylic paint, combined with the wonderful, semi-transparent look of an ink dye. It's like having the best of both worlds!

Being pigment based, they are more viscous than Ink Dye so you can actually apply them with a paint brush and the color stays where you put it without bleeding!

GourdMaster™ Formula 49 is a ‘Must Have’ item for Gourders!
Bottles Starting at $7.95!

If you've ever tried applying your colors on a porous gourd shell, you'll know how difficult it can be to evenly spread your colors. And blending them can be nearly impossible! But when you use Formula 49 as a shell conditioner before you apply your colors, you'll instantly be amazed at how easy it is to work with them!

It can even be used to erase your mistakes! If you color outside of the lines, just put a small amount of Formula 49 on your cotton swab and it will remove all of the color (or very close to it!). Formula 49 is a staple in gourd art supplies! Watch the video below to see how Formula 49 can help you blend colors effortlessly and much more!

This stunning Tall Body gourd vase by Mona Bashore was painted with Ink Dyes in combination with Formula 49!

Reg. $34.95, Just $24.95!
Offer ends Monday, 4/17/23.

Shown above, box of 15 'Bargain Quality' Parts & Pieces

Our “Parts & Pieces” box is made from gourd tops or parts that are rough cleaned inside and out. We classify this as a 'Bargain Quality' box because it is a mix of several qualities at a deeply discounted price (some pieces will have cracks, dry shells, or a rough exterior, but other pieces will not).

This is the perfect box for when you need parts for practice or as an addition to a larger piece and also want to save money! Also perfect for kid's projects!

Ines Atkerson created these fun “wall pockets” with gourd pieces! They are both beautiful works of art and functional succulent planters.

Letters from Our Customers

"Dear Welburn Gourd Farmers, I'm excited to receive the Formula 49, ink dyes, and jewelry gourds and look forward to getting started with them.
I've grown and decorated gourds over the years, and learned a lot from watching your videos. These products and videos will help step up my game.
Visiting your farm is on my To Do List. I have a strong yearning to set in a field and commune with the gourds. I imagine this would be a very spiritual and healing experience. When I first moved to Oregon an elderly neighbor gave me the gift of a moldy gourd, and told me it was up to me to find it's treasures. That was the beginning. Thanks for all your help and especially for farming gourds." -Saundra

"The formula 49 was a great investment. I can’t believe what a difference it made when using the… Ink. I will be buying this product again😉" - W.J.Napioer

"Love the Formula 49... the fact that it will almost completely remove ink dye is a reason alone to call it a great product, not to mention how well it works to blend the inks. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle!" -Gloria Crane, Gourd Artist and Instructor
