Pheasant Feather & Gourd Seed Gourd
This gourd I have notched out the rim & added actual gourd seeds, with a black glass & small bone bead along with a pheasant feather for trim. It is attached with string so it will not fall of. I have shown two pictures of this one because the second shows a small natural mark that some may think of as a flaw but is just part of the caricature that gourds have. They are not perfect. Inside is painted black & then a varnish. Outside is leather dye with a shoe polish finish. It measures 4 1/2" tall and about 7 1/2" wide.

Carved Out Gourd Basket On Wood Ring Base
Lots of work here! The light beige color is all carved out of the gourd skin. The darker brown is what is left of the skin.

It has a wicker handle on top attached with some saddle color deerskin lace that has brass & green white heart glass beads along with small pheasant feathers. Very, very detailed work. It is 9 1/4" tall and about 4 1/2" wide.

Monkey Pod Carved Eagle Gourd
This is a super thick shelled gourd I have carved an eagle design into. I left it natural (with only a clear spray over it to preserve it) so not to take away from the oak wood & monkey pod carved eagle lid. I have added glass eyes so they stand out more along with a few strands of leather that have brass & bone beads that have a pheasant feather on the end of each. It is about 11" tall and 8" wide. Very sharp! Sorry about the glare in the shots!

Peacock Feathered Gourd
What do you see when you look at this gourd? Not a peacock but an owl...not in color though of course! The feathers do have beautiful colors. I did not plan it that way but it does have that appearance don't you think? There are 2 peacock swords going around the sort of oval shaped rim that drops down some in the front. Two peacock eyes off to the sides & the others are body feathers. It has a real 16x12mm oval malichite stone up at the top. The gourd is done in leather dye. It is 7" tall & 8" wide. Very, Very Cool if I do say so myself!
