I need to get back to gourding. This is my most recent project done earlier this year. Elohi Spirit 25-3. The deer antler I found while walking the trails out back was my inspiration to complete this gourd.

Reminder! I am now a Hobby business. I will do events on occasions and open my shop periodically. I do not do any shipping or on-line sales. The scammers pose too much risk to do online sales and shipping can damage or destroy the gourd pieces I have worked so very hard on. I will continue to post photos of new pieces and announce what events I will be showing my gourd and other pieces at.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am now a HOBBY BUSINESS not a BUSINESS!

I love working with gourds and until this year I was doing this as a business. But early this year I reluctantly admitted to myself that my knee surgery and scoliosis would prevent us from doing events. Also my husband had shoulder surgery, so neither of us were up to the work of setting up for shows. Vendor events are where we made most of our sales. As it turned out, the weather this year interfered with the only outdoor event we attempted.

In addition, I have encountered scammers attempting to cheat me out of money. That is disheartening.

So, my little building will be my show room for my gourds, my beaded and other art, Jerry's gourds and his diamond art. I will open by appointment and if you see something you like, I will sell it to you. But, I won't keep regular hours.

We may do an occasional event if the set up isn't too difficult. I may also enter art or gourd art shows or competitions.

I will not sell online or ship my gourds. I plan to only do in-person shows and sales.

I want to enjoy creating gourd art. Running a business is tough and I have found I get little reward for all the time and energy I put into trying to make even a marginal profit.

I hope to see you at an event my husband and I feel up to doing. Or come visit my show room/building! I will continue to post photos of my newest gourd projects or old favorites here on the Elohi Spirit Gourds page.

In the meantime remember to support your local artists and small businesses! They need you!

We will be at the Old Time Music & Heritage Fest in West Plains tomorrow and Saturday (10-dark). Elohi Spirit Gourds will be under the big tent on the west lawn, near the main entrance of the Civic Center. Check out historic uses for gourds and how gourds have evolved into new Ozarks traditions - like Ozarks Gourdillos as seen below. Also I will be demonstrating pine needle weaving on gourds. Make and take kits available!

Found this young tween-ager Gourdillo climbing around my kitchen counter. She tells me she's just drying her toe nail polish. She assures me she is not interested in digging up my yard and ruining her pedicure!

Update: This dog's owner has been located, and she will be going home tomorrow 10/4/25! Thank you for sharing!

*FOUND. SHARE SHARE SHARE!*

This German Shepherd was found on a county road in the Willow Springs/Cabool area. The individuals who found her brought her to Mountain Grove and turned her loose on their way back to Springfield.
Luckily our amazing police officers were able to catch her and now we need to get her back home!

This dog is definitely missed by someone. She is potty trained, has been treated for fleas/ticks, and is very well kept. Please share to every Willow Springs/Cabool group you can so we can get her back to her owners!

Please help spread the word!

If you know who this dog belongs to please call Animal Control at 417-259-9180.
