A GALLERY OF GOURD MASKS
Gourd masks make stunning wall hangings. I have two newly completed gourd masks for the year of 2009 below. Also, if you are interested in a particular mask that is sold, you can commision Patrick to design one for you.

ABOUT FACE, front view
"I woodburned and dyes this mask, which has several faces, depending on how you look at it." | ABOUT FACE, side view
"This closer view of the side demonstrates how the dyes I use are transparent allowing the gourd's natural mottling to show through." |
WHALE IN DREAMSCAPE
"Click on the photo to see the detailed hand chip-carving and the faux turquoise inlay (using Inlace epoxy) on this huge mask." | MEDITATION MASK
"A unique mask I just completed on 1/6/09, and you can see the steps I went through creating this one by clicking on Making A Gourd Mask on the left." |
KEEPING BALANCED
"A smaller, round mask, using a dremel for a different type of carving look." | GODDESS MASK
"This mask has chip-carving like the Whale Mask above, but here I darkened the carved areas with shoe polish for a different effect." |
