Letters from Our Customers
"Dear Welburn Gourd Farmers, I'm excited to receive the Formula 49, ink dyes, and jewelry gourds and look forward to getting started with them.
I've grown and decorated gourds over the years, and learned a lot from watching your videos. These products and videos will help step up my game.
Visiting your farm is on my To Do List. I have a strong yearning to set in a field and commune with the gourds. I imagine this would be a very spiritual and healing experience. When I first moved to Oregon an elderly neighbor gave me the gift of a moldy gourd, and told me it was up to me to find it's treasures. That was the beginning. Thanks for all your help and especially for farming gourds." -Saundra

"The formula 49 was a great investment. I can’t believe what a difference it made when using the… Ink. I will be buying this product again😉" - W.J.Napioer
"Love the Formula 49... the fact that it will almost completely remove ink dye is a reason alone to call it a great product, not to mention how well it works to blend the inks. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle!" -Gloria Crane, Gourd Artist and Instructor

GourdMaster™ Formula 49 is a ‘must have’ item for gourders! Use it to dilute or lighten Ink Dye
or Transparent Acrylic colors or even to remove the colors if you’ve made a mistake!
Formula 49 is also perfect for blending colors together for a smooth transition from one color to the next.
Shown above, beautiful gourd art by Sue Sweder! Sue is well-known for her vibrant colors and beautiful carvings incorporated in her gourd art. She is able to achieve bright colors on her carved gourd surface by mixing GourdMasterTM colors with Formula 49.
Incredible carved and painted Canteen gourd, by Nancy Foster. Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your artwork with us. Here is what Nancy writes in her post:
"I have finally completed another carved gourd project which I started over a year ago. It is a canteen gourd from Welburn. I changed my plans to include deep carving once I had the gourd cut in two pieces and saw how thick it was. I’ve included progress photos.
The color is Gourdmaster ink dyes and transparent acrylics. I had to use a lot of Formula 49 to “water down” the intense colors since the carved gourd surface is so porous. It also has pyrography details. The finish is a spray acrylic varnish. The inspiration is a Trailing Black-Eyed Susan variety called ‘Spanish Eyes’ which actually has multiple colors of flowers (Thunbergia Alata ‘Spanish Eyes’)." - Nancy Foster
"The formula 49 was a great investment. I can’t believe what a difference it made when using the Ink. I will be buying this product again 😉" - W.J.Napioer
We love this piece by Dee Hamlin! She achieved a wonderful range of greys by using GourdMasterTM Ink Dyes "Pitch Black" and "White" with Formula 49! Thank you, Dee for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!
A pop-up window will appear once your order reaches $65, and you will be allowed to add your FREE 2 oz Formula 49.

Get $25.00 Off the 'Limited Edition' Craft-Ready Challenge Box!
Reg. $69.95, Now Just $44.95!
Offer ends Friday, 1/27/23 at midnight.
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.

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!

Reg. $29.95 Just $24.95
Offer ends Tuesday, 1/17/23 at midnight.
We love this NEW Compact Professional Heat Tool! Unlike regular heat guns for craft use that may only last a few months, the Wagner Professional heat gun is durable and long lasting so you won’t have to keep replacing your heat tool!
“This [heat tool] is really nice! These Wagner tools are hard to get, but I’ve tried the other ones... the [cheaper] ones, and those don’t even last a year. The Wagner [heat tool] I have is 6 years old. Well worth the money.” - Dianne Connelly
The heat gun features a dual high (680°F/360°C) and low (450°F/230°C) temperature setting to accomplish countless DIY projects that require heat. It has three operating positions: palm, pencil and hands free. The heat gun includes multiple accessories to make your crafting ideas come to life. The included flare nozzle is ideal for applying heat in a wide, even pattern. The included reflector nozzle is ideal for shielding glass and other sensitive materials from heat. An 8” x 8” silicone mat comes with the kit to help protect your surface area from heat while crafting.
Uses:
- Heat Set GourdMaster Ink Dyes and Transparent Acrylics
- Quick Dry Formula 49 (leave damp; do not dry fully as this will reduce the conditioning effect of Formula 49)
