Gourd Painting

Posted By: Gourd Painter on 2008-08-03
In Reply to: Thanks Gourd Painter-- - For the love of Pete

You lucky soul!  I'm married to a bona fide (sp?) city boy (Chicago).  Fortunately he's a quick study but we've had some times during his learning curve.


I would love to share the gourd thing with you.  As I said, I stumbled on it quite by accident.  I'm actually taking art lessons so I'm really more interested in growing the little suckers (or big suckers as the case may be).  The craze hasn't even caught on yet in the Mid West so I bet you've got a head start on the East Coast if you want it.  Feel free to email me.  Just put something in the subject line that will get my attention.  I'm thinking of changing my address because I still get so much spam in spite of everything I can do.  I'll be posting gourd information on my website at some point in time but I want to get my ducks in a row first.

I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n

Aha !! Retired and painting gourds as a hobby? Envy you. nm

I have been around a long time. Why do you come to this board and lurk all the time. Did you run out of gourds and feel you need to stir something up.. If you hate MT so much go away from here and leave the real MTs alone. You just make things worse for some of these people. Get a new hobby or a job
Thanks Gourd Painter--

I do okay when I stay off these boards during working hours.  Fortunately, I'm statutory now and don't have to worry about minimum hourly quotas.  I can just kick back and relax. 


I had no idea there was that kind of money in gourd painting.  I'm on the East Coast and I don't think that craze has hit here yet.  Maybe this is my chance to get in on it early.  I'm married to a good ole farm boy, so I'm sure he could help with the dirt part of it and then I could just do the painting part.  I'll have to run that by him and do a little more research on this.  I love to paint and stencil crafts; I've done quite few primitive pieces myself.


Good luck in your new career.  Doing what makes you happy is never wrong!


hey, gourd painter, did you see the
reports a few months back on migraine sufferers who found relief coincidentally with face lifts? I have only had about 3 or 4 of these myself over the years, but they totally shut me down. Feel sorry for you.

Gourd, I am so sorry that this is happening to you,

Isn't it bad enough that we all have to worry about our jobs on a daily basis, worrying if work will be there, if the company that we are working for will actually pay us for the many, MANY hours that we have put in and having to work literally almost every holiday because in this industry, that is just how it is?  Now we have to worry for expressing our opinions, something that, IMHO, is my God given right, after all, last time I checked, we were still living in the United States of America!! 


To me what makes this entire situation even more sickening, is that someone is being paid to watch this board.  This company could use that money, the money that they are paying for attorney fees, court fees, etc., to pay their MTs what they DESERVE and instead of worrying about looking bad on a website, they should do everything in their power to make their company the absolute best in its business.  Again, IMHO.


To Gourd Painter - Need Clarification
Sorry but your answer isn't clear to me. Would appreciate more specifics. What does AAMT have to do with it anyway?
OMG - an American Gourd Society!
I love it! I am so getting into this! I live in Ohio and there are always craft shows and farmer's markets, pratically every weekend. I'm really good at painting, so am not really interested in doing the paint-by-numbers thing, but are there any books you would recommend for me to get started? Maybe just two or three?
