“Wow! I got the new [Transparent] acrylics and I love them!!! …super easy to work with, and they blend and mix beautifully. I’m having so much fun with the colors!” – Janet Bundrant, TX

Click Here to Watch the Video Now!

Similar to acrylic paints, the new GourdMaster™ Transparent Acrylics are made using pigment rather than dye as the main carrier of color, which means the colors are much bolder and more vibrant on your gourd!

Wipe them on with felt just like you would Ink Dye for a beautiful semi-transparent look that is just as fade-resistant, or apply them like an acrylic paint: Being pigment based, they are more viscous than Ink Dye so you can actually apply them with a paint brush and the color stays where you put it without bleeding!

“I LOVE the new transparent acrylics!! It’s like having the advantage of both an ink dye and an acrylic paint in one. They can be wiped on and worked with like an ink dye or you can paint them on with a paint brush and they won’t bleed. Fantastic product!!” – Carrie Dearing, Gourd Artist and Instructor

Deluxe Pack – GourdMaster™ Transparent Acrylics
- All 16 colors in the large, 1oz bottles
-30-minute instructional DVD with Carrie Dearing
- and 1 sheet of felt

Regularly $138.00 SPECIAL PRICE: Just $109.95!

Similar to acrylic paints, the new GourdMaster™ Transparent Acrylics are made using pigment rather than dye as the main carrier of color, which means the colors are much bolder and more vibrant on your gourd!

(pictured left, gourd art by Carrie Dearing, painted with Transparent Acrylics; Wild Rose and Pure White used on flowers, Leaf and Pure White used on leaves.)

Wipe them on with felt just like you would Ink Dye for a beautiful semi-transparent look that is just as fade-resistant, or apply them like an acrylic paint: Being pigment based, they are more viscous than Ink Dye so you can actually apply them with a paint brush and the color stays where you put it without bleeding!

“The best feature of the [transparent] acrylics is the INTENSITY of the colors and the ease of use. They spread just like the ink [dyes], very evenly and without STREAKS!!! They also wipe off easily with water (when still “wet”) off the gourd and are extremely FORGIVING.

“…They dry twice as fast as the ink [dyes] when using the heat tool and all sealers are compatible. Can’t thank you enough for the best coloring medium yet for gourds!! Please make more colors. P.S. Also used them by mixing them with ink [dyes] to make additional shades and new colors that worked fantastically as well. Thanks again.” 

- Dianne Connelly, Gourd Artist and Instructor

“I love every item I have purchased from your place. I have taken two classes and hope to take many more. This is a new endeavor for me and I find decorating gourds is exciting.

Also, thank you for helping me when I have called with questions. Some of the questions were pretty silly, but you still answered them without embarrassing me. You all get a gold star for kindness.” -Clarkie Rambo

Featured Gourd Art

This issue’s featured gourd art piece is “Sea Life” by Carrie Dearing! The aquatic scene is completely carved out and painted with a partial cut-out showing through to the inside of the gourd, which has been completely painted and finished. A molded, clay starfish clings to the rim of the gourd, and artificial “sea grass” foliage lends the perfect accent. The gourd is mounted on a base to give it stability. The gourd and base alone stand 20 inches high, and with the foliage the piece stands nearly 3 feet tall!

(Photo at right shows an adult cat (Her name is Minga) next the gourd for size comparison.)

The level of detail and precision in this art piece is truly incredible!

To purchase this piece or for more information, please contact the artist directly via email at creativegourdart@yahoo.com or by phone at 909-754-6368 (artist is in California).

Purchase Price: $750
