-Shows:
Gourdaments and The Gourd Gallery are completing another successful
year of gourd adventures. 2007 began with a fantastic workshop by Bonnie Gibson
that filled up in record time.
 Phoebe
the Frog and Penguin ornaments were introduced to the wholesale market
this year. Phoebe (short for amphibian) came to the market starry eyed and ready
for love. She was embraced by gourd lovers everywhere.
Penguin, also anxious to meet the market, has proved himself to be a holiday
favorite.
Looking ahead to 2008:
I have many gourd ideas brewing for 2008. I am expanding my tried and
true designs to include lidded boxes for jewelry and keepsakes. I am also working
on the concept of transforming a gourd into the image of Mother Nature. Bird
designs and lions with wood shaving manes are also swirling around in imagination.
I am very excited about being on the cover of Gift
Shop Magazine in Winter 2008! I would like to thank Robin Smith for introducing
my work to the magazine and Mike
Mathhews for taking such wonderful photographs.
Happy New Year! Devon Cameron
