Aloha,  I am Judith but part of me is known as Gourda. 

 After many treasured vacations here, we decided to relocate to the Volcano area a few years ago and love the location we have chosen.  My husband, Manikea is an expert at cleaning and shaping the interior of the gourds for me.  He also is a tour guide to the current lava eruption in Kalapana.  We breed Schipperkes as treasured companions and agility competitions.

I have been crafting since the age of four and have tried a lot of different things. However, I found that my passion is the creation of designs using hard shelled gourds.  All of the things I have mastered in the past have come together to be used in the  creation of each piece I offer.  Along with the skills, a piece of my heart resides in all my designs.  I craft each piece as a unique individual with a personality of its own.  I also welcome custom commissions.
