Weaving on Gourds Review: A suberb reference book for weaving technigue on gourds with good photo illustrations showing each weave in detail - First, the cover photo attracted me. And though I already carve, paint, use a wood burner, and add coil basketry technique on gourds ~ author Marianne Barnes inspiring coil technique and book layout has made this a favorite reference for me. The illustrations show good detail and coordinate well with the superb instruction on any coil technique you could think of to use on gourds. I like how she shows how to start the spoke attachment on the gourd in a way to make the seam almost seamless. And the attractiveness of including almost any medium (natural or man made) into a weave for variety and focal points. The dream catcher weave is a common idea, but I would not have thought of using it with gourds before this publication. Thank you Marianne Barnes for your thorough instruction. This is a must reference book for any gourd artist out there with a desire for an organic designed finish on their gourd. Review: Nice Book - I like this book. It has lots of good ideas and the instructions are fairly clear. I fine I refer to it many times, and I would reccomend it if you work with gourds ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,059,179 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #315 in Folkcrafts #355 in Weaving (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 77 Reviews | ## Images ![Weaving on Gourds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CQmHFtowL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A suberb reference book for weaving technigue on gourds with good photo illustrations showing each weave in detail *by A***N on June 20, 2016* First, the cover photo attracted me.

It has lots of good ideas and the instructions are fairly clear. I fine I refer to it many times, and I would reccomend it if you work with gourds ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully done book *by A***S on January 13, 2011* I have been working in gourds for several years and weaving on the rims with pineneedles so when I saw this book coming out I had to have it. The book is beautifully done with great photos that really help. The projects are beautiful too. My only criticism is that this book is not really meant for beginner basket weavers, like me. All the instuctions are there but some important things like, how long the spokes should be and what happens when a spoke breaks, or how long a weaver should you start with, appear to be missing or hidden somewhere in all the text. I am slowly getting through my first one but find I am stumbling around looking for an answer. But I am glad I bought this book and will work it all out --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4532858-weaving-on-gourds](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4532858-weaving-on-gourds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
