The Fiery Countess gourd lamp features a fancy-cut neckline and 3  flowers around it. One flower has red, orange and brown beading,  a second one that is plain with no color and a third flower with same colors, deconstructed. 

The Swaddle gourd lamp features swooping patterns that remind me of a swaddle. It projects energizing patterns when placed near a wall for your utmost visual enjoyment. The lamp is powered by an electric plug and is fitted with an LED bulb for lighting.

The lovely gourd lamp is one with bright energizing light shining through. It is a small lamp that gives bright light. It is powered by an electric cable and fitted with an LED bulb for lighting.

The Patterns Gourd Lamp was made to celebrate geometric patterns. It projects overlapping circular shapes that repeat till they form other geometric shapes. The lap is powered by an electric cable and is fitted with an LED bulb for lighting.

The Tree of Life  gourd lamp featured the three of life in three styles all around the gourd, with a fiery glow around each tree. Techniques used include carving.

This vase features a portrait of a bird framed  by gold leaves and flanked by the Ghanaian Kente Cloth. Unfortunately, the piece was stolen outside my home studio while drying it out in preparation for an exhibition.

This is a tall gourd vase made in 2023. I used red gold green, colors of the Ghanaian flag and made demarcations  like one would see on a map. The vase is also embellished tastefully with rhinestones.

The Eye of the people Gourd Vase is made with inspiration from Native American art and my Ghanaian background. I have always been fascinated by the Zuni bear visually. Knowing it is the symbol of health and protection for the Zuni Pueblo people draws me to it the more. I made this vase as an homage to the Native American people.

The vase features the zuni bear symbol lodged in an eye and accented by the Kente cloth design from the Ashanti people of Ghana. Techniques I used include wood burning, carving, texturing and patina.

The Patina Strong" Collection included several gourd vases made by Trustina which shared the common theme of patina. Trustina achieved the looks by juxtaposing her signature bright colors with the weathered effect that patina gives. Techniques used include carving, painting and the use of patina to create a (beautiful) weathered effect on different parts of the gourds in the collection.
