| Andrea
Jansen - is a maker of Gourd art. Once used solely for utilitarian
purposes such as water carriers and ceremonial vessels, gourds are
now being taken to a higher level and decorated as never before. The
type of gourd she uses is from the calabash tree found here on the
island of Puerto Rico, called an higüera. Its delicate looking
shell is misleading; it is hard, dense and solid, and allows her to
design and carve many shapes not possible with vine-grown gourds.
She lives and works in Puerto Rico and has won prizes in California
for her gourd art. Her simply designed site shows and sells her
varied and attractive work including lamps whose shape is created
as the gourd grows.... http://www.andreajansendesigns.com/index.htm |
