For more information, visit Burnt Offerings studio where award-winning contemporary gourd artists Opie and Linda O'Brien make art, poetry, and music with pyrographic and mixed-media interpretations of primitive and ceremonial art and music. They see gourds as "Nature's pottery, ...one of the first cultivated plants throughout the world since prehistoric times. Gourds play a significant role in the origin myths of every culture..." The Burnt Offerings work includes pyroengraved gourd musical instruments as sculpture; Reiki, Runic, and Chakra vessels filled with gemstones and healing herbs; spirit pots, jewelry, and more. Linda and Opie enhance their pyroengraved decoration with a wide variety of organic materials (some of which are shown in the examples displayed here).

There is a fully illustrated article written for the WWWoodc@rver E-Zine about Opie's and Linda's work in pyroengraved musical instruments.
