Morning DEW Gourds

Morning DEW Gourds Hand carved gourd artwork by Denny Wainscott. Many of the gourds use inlays of turquoise, malachite, lapis, mother of pearl, and silver.

View our gallery on our website! Denny Wainscott, a native of Frankfort, Indiana, developed a desire for nature long ago. His grandfather taught him how to handcraft gourds into birdhouses at a very young age. Since that time, Denny has had a love of nature and the countryside. Today, from his rural home, he creates his beautiful works of art. Many of his gourds have Native American, African, and

wildlife motifs. Denny handpicks the gourds and then begins his intricate designs. He draws the designs onto the gourd then burns, carves, and inlays turquoise, malachite, lapis and mother of pearl. He uses wood stains and leather dyes to give each piece its own unique coloring. Denny had never been an artist, but at age 50 he quit corporate America and started in this exciting new career. He has an electric technician license, a BS degree in elementary education, but no formal education in art. He loves teaching his six grandchildren how to fish and how to respect nature. He also never misses one of their games unless he is at an art show! Denny, and his wife, Carol, enjoy traveling all over the United States sharing his extraordinary pieces of art.

Creation said:
“I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it.
It is the realization that they create their own reality.”
The eagle said,
“Give it to me. I will take it to the moon.”
The Creator said, “No. One day they will go there and find it.”
The salmon said,
“I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean.”
The Creator said, “No. They will go there, too.”
The buffalo said, “I will bury it on the Great Plains.”
The Creator said, “They will cut into the skin of the earth and find it even there.”
Grandmother who lives in the breast of Mother Earth,
and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said
“Put it inside of them.”
And the Creator said, “It is done.”
