"Those metallic inks are gorgeous! Just so beautiful! I look forward to experimenting with them. Thank you ever so much." -Sincerely, Lynne

Shown above, Complete Collection of all GourdMasterTM Metallic Ink Set

Pictured above, 2 fabulous gourd art pieces painted with GourdMasterTM Metallic Inks by Grace Anne Swanson!

Accent your gourd art with a splash of brilliant color! Use Metallic Inks for durable, reflective color that is long lasting and will not fade, chip, or peel off your gourd surface.

As with the regular Gourd Ink Dyes, they are alcohol-free and are specially formulated to provide a rich color that withstands time. Thicker than the regular Gourd Ink Dyes, the Metallic Gourd Inks are applied using a paintbrush or Fine Tip Applicator and go on as a solid, opaque color (no transparency). Mix well before applying.

A hybrid of the banana gourd, these "People Gourds" are so-named because they are so popular for making figurines and sculptures.

These 2 sizes are perfect when you need a more slender shape (in proportion to the height) and come in a tall and extra tall box option!

Letters from Our Customers

"I'm very happy with my Proxxon mini jigsaw.  I am both technology and mechanically challenged and am always overwhelmed when I receive a new tool to use. But this was so easy! I couldn't believe it. Basically all I had to do was put the jigsaw blade in, plug it in and go! WOW! So easy to use. I love it! Thanks for making products that make working on gourds so easy."

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

"The Proxxon Jigsaw is great! It's heavier than I thought it would be, but well-balanced and so easy to use. The foot peddle is really handy. Cutting gourds is quicker, easier, cleaner and safer." - Jolaine Lanehart

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

A friend of mine had ordered your gourd saw with the foot pedal and let me use it. I immediately fell in love with the saw and had to have it. I have received and that little saw is so powerful. It does not disappoint. -Alice Forsyth-Bowley
