Here is my prize gourd. It was the very first fruit of the gourden and still the most successful. The perspective is a little off in this photo- this bilobal gourd is about 11 inches in length growing on the southernmost side of the gourden. It's what I plan to make my shekere out of. The top lobe is larger than the perspective on this photo implies. The size of the top lobe will make an excellent horn for the shekere when I cut the stem area off.
This is a dipper gourd. About a foot long. I think I plan to make a maraca-style shaker out of these straight-necked dippers.

This dipper turned out fat. I'm not sure what I'll use it for it the handle doesn't become larger.
I took this photo because you can see three young dippers growing from largest to smallest in the middle of your screen. If you look closely, you can see others.
