In 2001 Lynn Peace Marino, ( that would be me ) started creating gourdies. I am a self taught Alabama folk gourd artist.I call myself a folk artist cause I like folks. I start with an Alabama growen gourd, elbow grease, clay, paint and a wild imagination. A gourdie burdee is created. I never know what they will be or what they will look like untill they are finished. My gourdies started as middle aged martini sippin burdees with a story to tell and a love for gossip. Over time they have embraced some new friends into their flock. I hope you have as much fun looking at them as much I did creating them! 12/11 Wow what fun I had today. I met with author, Charles Ghigna and his wife Debbie . I met Charles, better knowen as Father Goose, when he stopped by my booth during the 39th ADC fine craft show in November. The gourdies got his attention and made him smile. Can you believe it ! He wanted his own gourdie burdee but a he , not a she. So I made him one. A Father Goose of course and he was delivered today. So be sure and check out the photos.
