Just added: How to size a gourd &amp; Gourd Cleaning. Cleaning your own gourds is great way to save money, and a great way to get to know your gourds. This is the time 100's of artists say the gourds literally speak to them and let them know what they want to transform into (believe it or not).<br /><br />Knowing how to size gourds can save you a lot of headache when ordering gourds.<br />Most sellers size gourds by diameter or length, which simply means they measure from one side to the other. At times, people order by circumference, measuring around the gourd. I simply divide by 3 and get very close to the size they are looking for. But the best way to know what size you are getting, is to measure by diameter in the first place. It seems to be the most universal way to measure and price gourds.<br /><br />For lots of good and free gourd information, check us out at <a href="http://www.californiagourds.com/">www.californiagourds.com</a>.<br /><br />For a quick link to the videos, <a href="http://www.cagourds.com/videos.html">click here</a>.<br /><br />Have a gourdgeous day!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer">https://www.google.com/adsense/a?u=12593973&d=5705246<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6848309414688062420-1595193701740390970?l=californiagourds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Diazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09292159820140038113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848309414688062420.post-49026716473818427302007-05-02T11:40:00.000-07:002007-05-02T11:57:24.581-07:00Just sent to over 25,000 email inboxes around the globe!

We've started with the most frequently asked question, which is "<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2606285434890304996">what is a gourd</a>" and then "<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2364798606960948671">how to tell how thick a gourd is without cutting it open</a>". This last one can be really useful when deciding what kind of art project to do on a particular gourd. You wouldn't want to pick a really thin gourd to carve your design into. The thin ones are best for painting and more surface designs where you won't be cutting the gourd at all. Stay tuned for more free videos! We're having fun, showing you the gourd basics!<div class="blogger-post-footer">https://www.google.com/adsense/a?u=12593973&d=5705246<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6848309414688062420-1749093258298680037?l=californiagourds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Diazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09292159820140038113noreply@blogger.com2
