Our 'Bargain Quality' Bottle gourds have the same great shell thickness as our regular quality gourds but with a few imperfections. They may be leaning a lot or have a small crack or other shell blemishes, but with a little creativity they can be turned into beautiful works of art!

Here are some examples of the wonderful art made with bottle gourds, created and shared by our customers!

GourdMaster™ Formula 49 is Back in Stock!
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!

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

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
