Tim Anderson has an unusual how-to posted on Instructables that will teach DIYers how to grow their own portrait gourds. The technique is inspired by the Chinese art of growing vegetables in molds to create desired shapes.
Check out the how-to below; it features tips from Jim Widess of The Caning Shop and molds by Zhang Cairi. Also worth checking out are Ray Villafane's insane carved Halloween pumpkins.
