Welcome! I love creating uniquely rustic pieces for your home. I work with real dried gourds for your tabletop decorating and reclaimed wood for your wall decor. I am happy to customize when I can so please reach out if you have a creative idea you'd like to work on together.
Meet the Maker
Hello friends! My name is Christy and l welcome you to my shop :)
In my handmade shop, I feature unique pieces of home decor that add a little rustic and a little whimsy to your home.
I began my handmade journey of wood-burning artwork on reclaimed wood. The beautiful brown color in my artwork is created with pyrography, "drawing with fire". It is the perfect complement to the reclaimed wood that I use to create rustic wall hangings. All the artwork is wood-burned by hand, using pyrography tools.
When I discovered the incredibly versatile dried gourds, it was love at first sight! I instantly added them to my creative routine. I've always adored pumpkin carving, and here was a similar natural vegetable that will for many years without the shelf life of a fresh pumpkin. The dried gourd shells are very hard and perfect for carving and pyrography!
I use the gourds to create whimsical fall pumpkin characters with a ton of personality. I also enjoy turning the gourds into decorative bowls, vases, and vessels. Each gourd shape is unique, so each gourd piece is a one-of-a-kind!

How it’s Made
Creating your personalized Lake Rules Sign is a collaborative process that ensures every detail reflects your unique style and preferences. Here’s how you and I will bring your vision to life:
Step 1: Design Consultation
We begin by discussing the phrases you'd like to include on your Lake Rules Sign. Whether it's specific rules, favorite activities, or sentimental sayings, your input guides the customization process. You can also specify any size requirements you have for the sign.
Step 2: Mockup and Approval
Based on our conversation, I create a mockup of the sign layout and send you a picture for review. This step allows you to visualize how the phrases will look on the reclaimed wood boards. I'm happy to make any changes necessary until it looks just right to you.
Step 3: Artisan Craftsmanship
Once you approve the final layout, I begin crafting your sign using my collection of reclaimed wood. I hand-select boards with varying lengths, colors, and tones that complement each other beautifully. The boards are lightly sanded to preserve their natural patina, showcasing the weathered textures that add to the rustic charm. Slight imperfections like cracks and nail heads are intentionally retained to enhance the rustic texture.
Step 4: Pyrography Artwork
Using pyrography, or "drawing with fire," I meticulously burn each letter and design onto the wood boards. This technique creates a distinctive, artisanal look that enhances the natural beauty of the reclaimed wood.
Step 5: Assembly and Ready to Hang
After completing the artwork on each board, I securely attach them with canvas straps on the back. This makes hanging your sign effortless – upon delivery, simply unroll it and hang it on a sturdy nail in your desired location.
This Lake Rules Signs will be tailored to reflect your personal style and the cherished moments of lakeside living. Start a conversation today to begin creating a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates your love for the lake.

Commonly Asked Questions
1. Can I order a customized gourd character? Yes! I am happy to work with you on a personalized gourd for you. Just reach out and we can chat about your idea.
2. Can I order the hats separately? Not at this time. I use the coordinating gourd top to make the hat base. So the gourd top/hat fits the gourd exactly. I am contemplating making hats separately. Let me know if this might be a good idea... I'd love your input!
3. Can I use the gourds to decorate outside? These gourds are dried, but I wouldn't recommend letting them get wet with the weather elements. It's best to keep these as "indoor gourds".
4. Can I name my gourd? Sure! If you would like to name a gourd just let me know. This would fall into a custom piece, so I would just need a week or so to create this gourd for you.
5. Are there additional charges for custom gourds? This depends on the request. Please just send me a note with your request and I can let you know.
