![]() ***March 28, 2008*** As promised I have a new free pattern it is a cute little egg gourd painted into a penguin, see below. Welcome to my site!! Here is a little info on me. I started painting around 7 years ago and began with One-Stroke, and have morphed into my own style of tole and a bit of one-stroke flavor. I live in a very rural area and that has influenced a lot of my work, as you may notice I have done quite a few barn scenes and farm animals. We raise steers, chickens, barn cats, a dog and kids! I have also done a cow gourd which is also cute if I do say so myself! One of my favorite surfaces to paint are gourds, check out the gourd page for pictures. Each gourd is a unique surface and since God never made a true duplicate they each are different. I have really enjoyed coming up with different character gourds and developing and continuing to expand in this art form. I hope that you take some time to explore, and any questions or comments are welcome. I am happy and eager to hear from you and custom orders via e-mail are always welcome! --Cara Keller
