About this Product

Meet Pickle, a handmade pumpkin decoration made with a real dried gourd!

  • I carved Pickle by hand, just as you would a fresh jack-o-lantern. I cut the top off a gourd, then clean out the middle before I carve his happy face.

  • I create Pickle's custom hat using the gourd top. Pickle's hat is made with up-cycled upholstery remnants and custom died burlap that I upcycled from a coffee bean sack.

  • His monster hat is decorated with fall leaves, real acorns, and natural dried botanical elements.

  • For a fun added touch, I engrave Pickle's name on the back using pyrography tools, also known as wood-burning.

  • Pickle comes with a battery-operated candle. Turn on the candle timer setting around dusk. It stays on for about six hours and turns off on its own. You don't have to touch it again until the battery runs out and needs to be replaced.

  • It's so heartwarming when your gourd friends light up automatically as the sun is setting!

  • Pickle is about 13 inches x 5 inches wide.

Meet the Maker

Hello friends! My name is Christy and l welcome you to my shop :) 

In my handmade shop, I feature unique pieces of home decor that add a little rustic and a little whimsy to your home. 

I began my handmade journey of wood-burning artwork on reclaimed wood. The beautiful brown color in my artwork is created with pyrography, "drawing with fire". It is the perfect complement to the reclaimed wood that I use to create rustic wall hangings. All the artwork is wood-burned by hand, using pyrography tools.

When I discovered the incredibly versatile dried gourds, it was love at first sight! I instantly added them to my creative routine. I've always adored pumpkin carving, and here was a similar natural vegetable that will for many years without the shelf life of a fresh pumpkin. The dried gourd shells are very hard and perfect for carving and pyrography!

I use the gourds to create whimsical fall pumpkin characters with a ton of personality. I also enjoy turning the gourds into decorative bowls, vases, and vessels. Each gourd shape is unique, so each gourd piece is a one-of-a-kind!

GOURDS

Processing Time 

  • Finished Gourds - I ship your orders within 3-5 days of purchase. 

  • Custom Gourds - I ship your orders within a few weeks. 

Commonly Asked Questions

1. Can I order a customized gourd character? Yes! I am happy to work with you on a personalized gourd for you. Just reach out and we can chat about your idea.

2. Can I order the hats separately? Not at this time. I use the coordinating gourd top to make the hat base. So the gourd top/hat fits the gourd exactly. I am contemplating making hats separately. Let me know if this might be a good idea... I'd love your input! 

3. Can I use the gourds to decorate outside? These gourds are dried, but I wouldn't recommend letting them get wet with the weather elements. It's best to keep these as "indoor gourds".

4. Can I name my gourd? Sure! If you would like to name a gourd just let me know. This would fall into a custom piece, so I would just need a week or so to create this gourd for you. 

5. Are there additional charges for custom gourds? This depends on the request. Please just send me a note with your request and I can let you know.
