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

How the Whimsical Gourd Mushroom is Made:

  • Handcrafted from Real Gourds – Cut pieces of dried gourds are carefully selected and shaped.

  • Carved Whimsical Design – The gourd shell is intricately carved with a delicate fern pattern, allowing light to shine through.

  • Open Bottom Design – The base is left open so the mushroom can be placed over the included tea light candle for a cozy glow.

  • Pyrography Artwork – The top is decorated with a charming bumblebee and floral design, drawn by hand using wood-burning tools.

  • Earthy Translucent Stains – Warm, natural tones are applied to enhance the organic beauty of the gourd shell.

  • Perfectly Sized – Measures 5 inches wide and 6 inches tall, making it a great accent piece for any space.

  • Do you make wall art for businesses? Yes! Decorating your business with rustic wall art creates a warm and inviting space for your customers and employees. I can recreate your logo or company mottos etc on reclaimed wood. 

  • How do I hang my wall art? I attach a classic saw tooth hanger on the back for you to hang your piece.

  • Is the wood heavy? All the wood I use is real and solid. Depending on the type of wood, yes it can be very heavy. I would recommend a drywall screw to hang your piece on. 


GOURDS

Processing Time 

  • Finished Gourds - I ship your orders within 3-5 days of purchase. 

  • Custom Gourds - I ship your orders within a few weeks. 

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.
