Got Gourds - if not, Get Gourdaments
What do you get when you combine earth's rustic gourd designs with the whimsical stylings of award-winning artist Devon Cameron? Gourdaments. From garden to gallery, these gourds make wonderful gifts, home accents, or garden décor.
(PRWEB) April 13, 2005 -- Gourds in all states of completion tumble over each
other in Devon’s up-state New York Studio. Some are ready to ship to art
galleries and museums throughout the US. Others are scrubbed clean, each waiting
to be imbued with its own unique personality. Some will be Cleo cats, some Olde
Century cats, yet others will become folk-art roosters reminiscent of farm
kitchens filled with the scent of baking pies.
Figaro and Cleo, two
classic Pinocchio characters, merge in the artist’s childhood memories to create
Cleo the Goldfish Cat. With a rich, natural gourd exterior and leather-dyed,
stylized “Cleos” gracefully swimming around his tummy, this kitty has found true
happiness and contentment, a state of being he joyously imparts to all who love
him.
The Olde Century Cat, another collaborative effort between nature
and artist, combines the natural gourd palette with dyed earth-tones to create a
calico cat with a self- satisfied grin every bit as whimsical and winning as
Alice’s Cheshire pal.
Rusty Rooster’s old-timey, folk-art charm appeals
to antique enthusiasts, decorators, collectors, and folks who yearn for simpler
times.
Gourds are related to cucumbers, pumpkins, and zucchini. All are
branches on the cucurbit family tree. There are ornamental gourds, the kind that
we associate with Fall and Thanksgiving, and hard-shelled gourds, which are
tough-skinned and hard as wood. The latter are what clutter Devon’s studio
awaiting transformation into quaint personalities that will grace a buyer’s
mantel, bookshelf, or table. Smaller creations will add interest and whimsy to
holiday trees or display stands.
