Coyote Oz Creations

to Coyote Oz Creations ~ Laura Parker McGlynn ~

It happened in the Land of Enchantment -
A place of peaks and sand and sun -
A baby was born one November,
And the mystery had begun.
From the desert a Navajo wandered,
And into her window he gazed;
He turned and walked back to his hogan,
Never knowing the questions he'd raised.
She grew into a lovely young woman -
Strong and tall, grey-eyed and tanned,
With hair the color of sunlight,
And a spirit-guided hand.
For the man at the window had tales to tell
Of the lizards, coyotes, and deer;
He comes to the girl in her dreams at night
And whispers them in her ear.
She rises and takes up her paintbrush,
And puts it to gourd and to slate,
Thinking about that old Indian
and the art he has helped to create.

I dry and clean out the gourds and then decorate them with my designs.
My prices range from $25 up plus shipping.

Gourds have been used for hundreds of years in Africa, North and South America. They have served functionally as water containers and storage pots. They have been used during ceremonial chants in the form of rattles and masks. The gourds I use are called bottleneck gourds. They are from the lagenaria family. The "luffa sponge" is also a gourd.

These gourds have been dried and painted with an acrylic base. They have not been prepared for holding liquids. Kept dust free and dry, they will last for many years.
Birdfeeders should be brought in once a year and sprayed with a clear acrylic coating. The inside of the gourd should be kept spray-free to insure the health of our winged brothers and sisters.

I use the circles cut out of the birdhouse gourds to make jewelry.
My pins sell for $10 plus shipping.

I also paint on antique roof slates, usually using Native American designs.
These are weatherproof and may be used at your door.
I can also personalize them for you.
