December 17, 2022: New 'Limited Edition' Item! Plus $5 Ink Dyes, $15.00 Off and more!
'Limited Edition' Craft-Ready Challenge Box!
Reg. $69.95, Now Just $54.95 with $4.95 Flat Rate Shipping!*
Shown above, 15 Craft-Ready Challenge gourds, 2.5”-5.9” in diameter and 2.5”- 12” tall.
This ‘Limited Edition’ Craft-Ready Challenge Box is similar to our regular Challenge Box in that it offers discounted gourds with some kind of flaw or imperfection that will challenge your creativity and spark new ideas. The difference is, all these gourds are pre-cut and cleaned both inside and out so you can get right to the fun of creating!
These are great gourds with thick shells that did not qualify to go in our other boxes either because the cut or bottom sanding was too crooked (see photo for examples), or because of some shell flaw or a small hole at the bottom where the stem got knocked out during sanding.
Beautiful small 5”-6” gourd bowls by Grace Swanson. A gourd with dark areas or flaws on the shell can be a wonderful opportunity to get creative with your colors and finishes. We love the finishes Grace created with the two pieces shown above! Be sure to see all of Grace’s artwork for sale in the Gourd Art Marketplace here.
These cute snowmen gourds are by Barbara Duquette-Fabian. Thank you, Barbara, for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!
Beautiful gourd with birchwood trees, by Aline Hoffman. Cut-out designs such as this can be an excellent choice for those “challenge” gourds that may have some shell blemishes.
Lovely gourd angle lamp by Gloria Crane.
An easy way to light your lamp is with a string of fairy lights. We like the ones that charge with a USB plug in. The set of 2 shown above is only $9.99 on Amazon at the time of this writing.

We love this beautiful, carved Canteen gourd by Donnie Novak! The way Donnie made the leaves "layered" really makes this art piece come alive, and we love how the stem was left with its rough, natural appearance. Great job, Donnie! Thanks so much for sharing your art work with us on Facebook.
