Moon Magick: $45
The moon teaches us lessons of flow & change..... She is considered Grandmother and guides our intuition & dreams. In the light or the darke of the moon magick can be made, dreams can be woven into reality.

Feather Keeper: Altar Gourd
This is the 2nd gourd that I ever completed..... It speaks of the power of women (see the shells) and of the Four Nations (which can be seen in the beads).. The feathers were a gift from a very special person, who although far in distance, is ever close within my heart.

WELCOME
Red Road Warrior RattleWelcome to my Gourd Vessel blog page: My work was formerly located @ www.spiritgoutdart.com. My work can also be viewed on my facebook page (friends only) or Webshots.com: kimberlyandbud.
I began working with gourds sometime in 1994-95 when I took a class at the Glendale Community Adult School with Ms. Lois Rainwater, a gifted basket-weaver & gourd artist. At the time, I was slightly embarrassed, as it turned out that I was the only person not interested in making "pretty, artsy-crafty" gourds.
I'm not saying that the gourds I finished were ugly, they just were not cute decorative items.
I have since come to realize, that gourds as living plants have a spirit residing within and that it is the spirit of the gourd that reveals itself to me, and I am simply a tool for them to come into full being.
These gourds carry medicine and tell their stories....... I am honored to be one who is able to help them with their metamorphosis from plant to medicine being.
