"Well, after spending nearly $500 on various power saws to cut open my Welburn Gourds, I finally gave in and purchased a Proxxon Mini Saw. I'm in love. It is super wonderful and small enough to offer me all the creative flexibility I desire. The professional look of my gourds improved 200 percent. Going to try the paints next...I'm sold. Thank you!" - Gayle Renfro

“I have used various inks including leather dyes, GourdMaster™ inks and the newer Transparent Acrylics are the BEST! I love the way they flow over the gourd skin, dye evenly, and blend well without having overlapping lines and smears.

I also love the way they are able to blend with other products on the line and can be diluted or made like a watercolor wash with their sister product Formula 49. If you have not tried them you're missing out!” - Debbie Gutzmann

Shown above, 32 colors available in the GourdMasterTM Transparent Acrylic line. These last a long time. One half-ounce bottle of dye will cover over 100 gourds in the 5"- 6" diameter size range!

Shown above, Two lovely gourds by artist Ines Atkerson colored with Transparent Acrylics! Thank you, Ines, for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!

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!

Awesome Gourd Art in the Gourd Art Marketplace!
(A place for buying and selling gourd art)

THIS IS SWEET NIKKERS KITTY, a hand painted gourd. Kitty is painted with multi colors like a Tortie, she is multi colors with white stripes big warm eyes and white cheeks, pink nose and white socks. She has a perfect long tail and a little bow and bell at her neck and a gold rhinestone. On the back is CHEDDAR my signature mouse. I hand brush 3 coats of varnish for protection. There is a big tan bow at the base of her tail and I attached my personal hangtag with interesting information about the gourd. She sits on a wooden heart. This is the perfect gift for someone who loves cats and she is low maintenance." To purchase or learn more, use this direct link!

Letters from Customers

"I just wanted you to know how much I like the Fili-Point Burr. It is the best burr I've used for doing filigree cut work. Unlike other pointed burrs that leave ridges, the Fili-Point makes a nice clean cut the first time and saves a step. It can be used for doing small filigree as well as large cut outs. Welburn you got a keeper with this one." - Gloria Crane

***************************

"Thanks for my filli-point burrs. I have been having a wonderful time playing with the burr. Wish I'd had one years ago! Keep up the good work." - Simone Doherty

***************************

"The [Fili-Point Burr] is awesome! I love that I can just plunge it right into the gourd and it doesn't grab.   Because of its size it fits into tiny corners, so I can cut really intricate shapes. The cutting action is powerful and so smooth, like cutting through butter, so it leaves a clean edge - this means less sanding for me (always a good thing!). From tiny filigree holes to larger cut-outs, this burr easily does it all!" - Mary Gehley
