How come viking gourd is allowed, but african influenced gourds are not?

That's racist.

Any insights on that snake gourd?

i feel like starting out with a gourd that looks like a snake is cheating

like if i found a gourd shaped exactly like richard nixon's head, i should not be allowed to enter it to the gourd carving contest unless i carved it to look like LBJ, Gerald Ford, or Obama. I guess not obama though since that would be african influence.

It was bugging me, it turns out "snake gourds" are a thing. And yeah, they look pretty snake like.





There was probably some skill involved in growing a particularly long and snake-shaped version of the gourd for painting. Apparently that's okay to do, because goose gourd guy did the same thing.

Oh yeah here's one more picture I forgot to post.




Goose gourd! Also in the back you can see the gourd necklace which won Best Wearable Gourd

That goose is probably just a swan gourd.






Luckily there are some brave visionaries out there who don't do the obvious thing and make snakes from snake gourds, and birds from swan gourds.



Snake from swan gourd. :monocle:
