Lynda's Gourd Art
Artist’s Statement Born in the upstate New York countryside, I grew up looking to nature for craft ideas and materials. I would gather “artist’s fungus” from trees and etch on their soft white undersides, or wait for them to dry and use a woodburner to make my designs. My friends and I would make acorn necklaces or pipes. Every year we waxed colorful leaves in the Fall, and used natural greens and berries to decorate for Christmas.
