You will learn how I turned a Hopi Rattle gourd into a storage box to save those treasured gourd seeds a lot of us like to save.

Then you will move on to the alcohol inks that you will create another design on your gourd. I will teach you my technique I used to get the tiny droplet look on the gourd.
