"My gourd
masks are created from a whole Canteen Gourd. I clean the
outside of the gourd and draw the face on. After it
has been pyroengraved, I proceed to clean and paint the inside &
outside. The color of the masks are sometimes determined
by the gemstones that are inlayed into the gourd and the exotic
feathers."
