Shown above, lovely gourd art by Penny Jacobs Marsh! She writes, "Just lately, I began to think how much people NEED encouragement during this current pandemic." Penny gives her finished pieces as gifts to people she feels they will help. (These were inspired by Kristin Popp Johnson, who "has wholeheartedly encouraged others to do their own versions" writes Penny in her post). Thank you Penny and Kristen for sharing!
This gorgeous small vase by Pat Berkbigler was made from one of our People Gourds.
People gourds make awesome sculptures, like this fun multi-colored fish! Kirby Maxwell posted the above photo of "Garp," made by his wife Maire. He writes, "Garp was a name I suggested, a combination or guppy and carp. :) He resides on the mantle in the vacation home of a couple of our dear friends on the coast of Georgia. It's always an extra benefit when friends appreciate your work enough to purchase it and proudly display it in their homes."
These lovely figurines are by Marsha Reeves! Thank you Marsha, for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!

Letters from Customers
"Hello Phoebe,
I wanted to give you a little information about my mom whose gourd you so kindly featured on your video [May 9, 2020 newsletter]. My mom is 87 - almost 88 and we got into gourds about 7 years ago when a friend told me about your classes.
My mother, who has always been artistic, does beautiful quilting, makes jewelry to sell, does counted cross stitch masterpieces, alcohol ink pictures and tiles and now gourds (that is just some of the stuff she has done).
I am always looking for things to do with her and so I took her to a class at the gourd farm to make a vase. Neither of us had ever done anything like this (I had never done anything artistic except wedding cakes) and we both fell in love with the wood burning and gourd art!
Since then we have been making gourds and selling them at craft fairs and giving them to friends. I have entered at least 1 gourd into the Orange County Fair for the last 4 years and have won a ribbon every year.
This past year, I finally entered 2 items into a California Gourd Society competition as an intermediate artist and took blue ribbons on both and a category award for one! I am beyond thrilled.
My mom has never entered any of hers into competitions, but I keep trying to get her to! She lives in Ridgecrest, CA and I will work on getting her to put one into the fair out there!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for featuring her beautiful piece and for giving us something that we can do together. I really cherish being able to do this with her!"
