WSGS Member Links and Ask a Pro

This page is for members that have Business Cards, Websites or digital Gourd Art displayed.

Also, each one of us has special skills or talents that we can share with novice gourdsters. I have created this list to highlight each members gourd specialties, with their email contact information. If you have a question about a certain subject look through the list and find the person that specializes in that gourd category.

If you ask a question and get a good answer could you please email me the question and the answer and I will post it on the Got Questions page if it has not been asked yet. my email is ozmail@comcast.net
