Gourd Book List
With thousands of books on Amazon alone, we have
gone through at least a thousand books to select books we would like
to have for artistic inspiration, or to look at some fine detail to
see how to. These are a series of assorted catagories of books to
help to teach and/or inspire the budding or even the advanced Gourd
Artist... Or any artist or crafter for that matter. The selections
on these pages are one's we found of interest, as well as any we deemed
viable for the purpose of teaching and inspiring the mind, however
we recommend you personally read the reviews and the information on
the books, and make you own decisions. We cannot determine what each
individual may find inspiring so therefore we cannot be held responsible
for bad choices.
Art and Instructional books including pattern books:
