Notes from Collectors & Friends:
Thank you so much for personalizing the gourd for Russ and I! It is perfect for our family room.

Thanks so much for the gourds. It will be a special gift for the girls. Each are perfectly matched for their taste. Thanks again.

We just love our cycle gourd. Thank you so much. I’m going to show it off on our Thanksgiving table.

Congratulations on all your awards at the gourd show. You did just what I expected you to do- take them by storm. Be sure to put pictures of your awards on your website. I love my mask. I will place it near my “hippy” gourd and think of you and your enormous talent each time I walk by. You were so prompt and efficient on the delivery.
Take care, Nancy Worley AL
I just opened the shipment and I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with the gourds you sent. I am still trying to determine which one I like the most. I am so impressed with your artwork and you obvious love for your artwork. I am also honored that I had a small role in influencing some of your design scheme with the Lascaux scheme. The Lascaux gourd is amazing. I enjoy the notes you attach to each piece. I really does add a very personal touch. I simply can’t tell you how much I enjoy looking at the gourds and taking in all of the intricacies and color variations that you use. Update me on the next Jerry Brown Art Festival and If I can pull it off I would love to come and meet you and of course purchase more of your work. Once again I am blown away by your artwork and I could not be more pleased.
Sincerely, Rodger FL
I want you to know we have never had a crowd that large at one of our meetings. Your were fantastic! Thank you so much for coming. I know it was difficult bringing all your things. Everyone enjoyed your program so much. I will be getting photos to you. Thank you again. You were wonderful.

I wanted you to know how much pleasure your gourd creation has brought us. It was a total surprise to open it and find such magnificent piece. And it was all the more amazing because I had just mounted a large oriental screen with two cranes. They are within easy view of each other and makes a striking contrast. My thanks for all the time and thought you put into this beautiful piece. It has a place of honor in our home.

Other Submissions by patrons of Organic Vessels:
She seeks beauty in the simple gourd
It becomes her duty to reflect the Lord in the creation of her art.
Some for laughter, some for tears
Some for sheer beauty, some for fear
What a gift she has found,
Emotions evoked
In all us folks,
By the art of a simple gourd.
