Memories Dye Inks

Memories dye inks, also known as gourd ink dyes or ink dyes, are manufactured in the USA by Stewart Superior. They are the best selling dye ink on the market. They are the very same dye inks you've seen demonstrated by Maria Dellos who developed the techniques for using them on gourds. Memories dye inks have the same semi-transparent quality as leather dye but are non-toxic, water based, fade-resistant, will not streak like leather dye. They blend beautifully AND it is easier to work with! Plus one 1/2 oz. bottle covers approximately 100 small gourds (5”-6” size)! Memories chalk & dye inks we carry are the finest quality water-based chalk & dye ink you will find. They are made by Stewart Superior in the good 'ole USA. Memories has gained the reputation for being "the best of the best" of premium dye inks on the market and gourders around the globe have now discovered them. What's even better, you can get now them at lower prices from us!

Memories Dye ink are the most popular dye ink for gourd artists because they are fade-resistant, light-fast, acid free and so much more versatile than leather dyes. They are so versatile and you can use a variety of colors to blend and create so many variations then dry and heat set with a embossing heat tool and you're done.

Memories Dye inks are the very same dye inks that Maria Dellos uses and developed the techniques for using the dye ink on gourds. Please check out her book and all the wonderful things you can do with dye ink in Maria Dellos' book Gourd Art with Ink Dyes.

Micro Sanding Stick and Belts

This is a must have tool for sanding the finest areas and the smallest detailed area. Perfect for removing leafing where it is not wanted, especially right up to the detailed line of where it is applied. This tool is intended for detail cleaning of excess product such as inks, paints and other products. A perfect complement to Riffler files, this sanding stick is wonderful for getting into tight areas that can't be smoothed with normal sandpaper, especially good for flat background areas and tight corners. Use this tool to do your final smoothing after carving.  

Micro Sanding Sticks are economical, versatile tools that use 1/4 inch wide, abrasive belts for smoothing miniature components and hard-to-reach areas. Made of tough, impact resistant polypropylene with a spring loaded tensioning device that keeps the abrasive belt firmly in place, plus allows a quick change when a new belt is needed. Belts can be rotated a full 360 degrees so they can be used completely. Micro sanding sticks can be used wet or dry and work well on almost any material, and they're color coded so you can identify different grits instantly.

Examples of some uses: metal finishing, woodworking, ceramics, electronics, pattern making, mold finishing, auto body finishing, taxidermy, gourds and so much more!

Jo Sonja Background Colors

6 oz. Bottles

Don't let the name mislead you, background colors are NOT just for backgrounds. They are wonderful artist quality acrylic paints that provide an opaque one coat coverage.

Jo Sonja’s Background colors are specially formulated for easy one coat painting and are intended for all decorative and fine art applications. Use straight from the jar or combine with other Jo Sonja's colors for dramatic effects. Made from the finest artists’ quality pigments, all Jo Sonja's Background Colors are independently tested to ensure your that your colors will not fade over time. I mix them with Jo Sonja Polyurethane varnish to color the inside of the gourds in one step.

• Use alone or in conjunction with all other water-based products.

• Use in conjunction with other Jo Sonja’s Mediums for various techniques and special effects.

• Suitable for most surfaces including wood, paper, cards, illustration board, canvas, glass, gourds and terracotta.

 Directions:

• For one step basecoat, mix and apply paint and All Purpose Sealer beginning with approximate proportions of 2 parts paint to 1 part All Purpose Sealer. Amount of All Purpose Sealer may be increased up to a ratio of 1:1. Basecoat may be applied with a brush, roller or sponge. Sand when dry and apply a second coat as needed without the addition of sealer.

• To thin, add small amounts of Flow Medium until desired consistency is reached. Thinning with water may decrease the adhesion of the paint to the surface.

• Jo Sonja’s Background Colors may be applied using an airbrush by thinning with Flow Medium approximately 1:1. All Purpose Sealer may be added for increased adhesion beginning with a ratio of 2 parts paint to 1 part All Purpose Sealer. Thin as needed using small amounts of distilled water to adjust consistency.

Note: Background Colors can also be mixed with other water based paints and Memories Chalk & Dye inks to create custom color palette's.

Gourd Sander Accessories

Item Description Order

#103 Gourd Sander

The Caning Shop's Gourd Sanderis built with the same powerful motor as our Gourd Saw. A precise, lightweight orbital sander coupled with our unique hook and loop sanding sponges, easily finishes the contours of your gourd, even in the hard to reach neck area. Our thinner sanding sponges transmit all the sanding action to the gourd surface, unlike tools with thick sponges that absorb the orbital action. This means less wear and tear on your wrist and arm. Because the Gourd Sanderis 15V-olt, you can wet sand with our long-lasting Abralon sanding sponges and not have to worry about getting a shock. Wet sanding is preferable because it keeps the sanding surface cleaner so that the grit lasts longer.

It’s all you need to make intricate cuts in your gourds.
Comes with The Caning Shop’s extended 3 year warranty.

Gourd  Sander Sanding Sponges

#105 Gourd Sander Sanding Sponges
Set of 12 Asst. Grit sponges

Long-lasting Abralon sanding sponges for the Gourd Sander. Use these sanding sponges "wet" for extra long life. A word about the Abralon Sanding Sponges. The actual size of the plate on the Gourd Sander is 2” x 2.5.” Your sanding sponges have been cut from a 12” disk (it’s the only way we can purchase them). Rather than making neat 2”x2.5” rectangles and throwing away the scrap, these are oversized giving you the extra material. Since with most of your gourd sanding will be on a contour, you’ll make good use of the extra material.  Be sure to use these pads wet and rinse them out when you’re finished. They are very high quality and will last a very long time.
