Gourds offer great surfaces to decorate, and this step-by-step
book reveals the design boost you can give your
gourd projects by using crayons as an economical source of wax. With over 340 detailed photos, in her popular how-to style Miriam
Joy explains the inexpensive materials needed and the basic steps of the low-cost, high-impact
wax design technique. Next are step-by-step instructions for four examples of creative wax-technique
designs on gourds, plus four stunning rim treatments. By using these as your starting
point, you can create unlimited
gourd artworks of your own—all featuring low-cost, high-impact
wax design technique. Projects range from the "Midnight Fern"
gourd with a crocheted beaded ruffle, to the colorful "Flowers in the
Jungle" gourd with a simple
shell rim, to the "Blue Horizons" gourd featuring a unique coiled Arrowhead Points rim. Plus, using wax, learn how to make faux stones
to decorate any project.

Miriam Joy is a professional artist, author, teacher, designer, and inventor, published photographer, filmmaker, and motivational speaker. Her home is in the Arizona mountains where she is inspired by the Navajo people and the beauty of the high desert.
