GourdMaster Metallic Gourd Inks and Sets are Back in Stock!
Starting at $69.90, Just $59.95!
Shown above, Complete Collection of all GourdMasterTM Metallic Ink Set
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.
You'll love the high quality, long-lasting durable color of the Metallic Gourd Inks! Take a look at the art pieces below for more inspiration!

"My latest Geisha Gourd. The floral pattern is from your video (Creating a Gourd Vase with Flowers and Fancy-Cut Rim). The birds are from the birdhouse stick n burn package, and the geisha and kanji are from my patterns. The gourd? A Welburn, of course. It was a from a ['Bargain Quality'] box of gourds. Loved the shape, but the skin needed to be painted. The geisha gourd was painted with transparent acrylics and metallic inks. I used formula 49 to remove ink dyes from the hair to create highlights. The butterflies were cut from patterned scrapbook paper with a paper punch and the geisha patterned clothes cut from patterned origami papers." -Diane Bruder

Letters from 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

“I have used various inks including leather dyes, GourdMaster™ inks…the 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
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!
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!

NEW Item! Angle Tip Applicators!
Perfect for applying Ink Dyes in small to medium size design spaces!
(Great for Transparent Acrylics, too!)
The NEW Angle Tip Applicators are the ideal tool for applying your Ink Dyes or Transparent Acrylics.
They are perfect for getting color into small to medium size designs on your gourd art where Micro Brushes and Fine Tip Applicators are a bit too small and don’t hold enough color to do the job efficiently.
Cotton rounds work great for applying color to large areas on your gourd, but not so great when you need color in a smaller space or need the color to come up against the woodburned line of your design.
Fine Tip Applicators work nicely for this, but they don’t hold a lot of color, which can make the color application process tedious and time consuming. The NEW Angle Tip Applicators are the perfect “in between” tool!
Their angled tip allows you to bring your color right up against your wood burned lines in your design, plus the large tip holds plenty of color for fast and easy application.
Plus they can be cleaned with Formula 49 and reused!

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

"Hello, I just received the GourdMaster Pro Carver II yesterday – couldn’t wait to try it out – I love it!! I’ve been using the Dremel which has been great, but there’s something about the Pro – so quiet, and the handpiece is much more comfortable, low vibration – it was like carving through butter! I wish I lived closer to a gourd farm - not any in my area - Connecticut Thanks, Kathy"
***************************
"I only started working with gourds a year ago. I first bought a Dremel but decided for me that it was harder to use and too much vibration so I bought the Pro Carver from Welburn. It has made a big difference in carving and I love the Pro Carver!" -Peggy J.
***************************
"OHMIGOSH! I just unboxed my new Pro Carver II and even though it’s late, I decided to give it a 5 minute test run.
Let me say, I was happy when I went from a Dremel to the Proxxon. But there is a night and day difference with the Pro Carver! The hand piece fits my hand so much better, it’s lighter and I can barely feel the vibration!! After carving a couple hours with the Proxxon, my hand ends up tingling afterwards. I don’t anticipate that happening with the ProCarver based on what I just felt. Halllelujah! My hand, joints and titanium shoulder are going to be sooo happy!
I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and start carving!" - Lori Smith
Easy-Grip Applicator Holders are Back in Stock!
Set of 2, Reg. $23.85, now Just $12.95!
“I used the [Easy-Grip Applicator] holders today to apply stain to an intricate project and I love them. I am 52 years old and I do not have arthritis however holding the tiny micro applicators and even small paint brushes causes cramps in my hands after a couple of hours. …I will use [the Easy Grip Holders] frequently!" -Cindy Knight
Easy-Grip Applicator Holders make holding applicator brushes easy. No more cramped hands! Great for people with arthritis. Simply insert the applicator brush into the holder and start painting. It's that easy!
We tried to design one holder that would fit both applicators but found out it would cost our customers over $40.00! The 2 holders together cost less than $20, hence our decision to have 2 holders individually sized for each applicator!
Easy-Grip Applicator Holders come in two different options, one for each brush type:
• Silver Holder = Fine Microbrush holder
• Black Holder = Fine Tip Applicator holder
Because the Fine Tip Applicator and Micro Brush applicators are 2 different diameters, they require 2 different Easy-Grip Holders.
Please note: Applicator Brushes not included.
