"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

Gail Bishop created this beautiful gourd pot using Transparent Acrylics! The colors on her piece are so vibrant and we love the way she blended the blue shades to look like a galaxy!

One half-ounce bottle of Transparent Acrylic will cover over 100 gourds in the 5"- 6" diameter size range!

Shown above, 32 colors available in the GourdMasterTM Transparent Acrylic line.

With GourdMaster™ Transparent Acrylics you get the rich colors and deeper coverage 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!

Letters from Our Customers

"I have always been pleased with my Welburn orders. I recently ordered the ornament gourds in two different sizes. I had not ordered them before and was happy with them. I have painted six of them and hope to paint more before Christmas. Welburn is my go to for my gourd supplies. Thank you." -Pam Price Reffitt

"I love my small ornaments - they are so cute and the family will love them, too.-Huggs and Blessings" -Jaynne

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

"I just want to thank everyone down at the Welburn Farm for all your hard work... with the growing, the turning, the harvesting, the cleaning, the packing of orders, the customer service... and so on! Creating gourd art has changed my life and enhanced it in so many ways. Thank you for the work you do, so that artists can have such a wonderful “canvas” to work with! I’ve been a loyal customer since around 2000 and will continue to be. (PS. I love the ornaments!) Happy Holidays to you all!" -Diann
