We asked Pennyroyal Designs artist Rae Russel how she started painting gourds and why she loves Halloween....

"I started painting gourds as a natural stepping stone from painting eggs for THIRTY SOME YEARS...gourds are much more fun in shape and color: another natural canvas. I dig Halloween for all the wild colors and wacky themes of witches and skeletons, spiders and pumpkins - lots of ideas to work with (a demented santa with a gap-tooth grin just doesn't go over too well...."

Each gourd is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted original work of art. Since we only have one of each, all are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event of multiple requests for the same item, the first recorded sale will be processed and all others will be discarded. In any event, we will notify you of the outcome of your transaction.
