I know, it's been between 90 and 100 degrees for the past 4 days. Today however is gorgeous. A perfect summer day, and it's not even officially summer yet. It's still spring and I'm already thinking about pumpkins and Halloween. It's a sickness. I made the crow rider last year out of crayola model magic and some stems leftover after I used the flowers for a wreath. The reins are a liquid silver necklace that my sister gave me. I used spray glitter on the crow and gave him red rhinestone eyes to make him more "magical". The hat is made from black cardstock with more spray glitter and rhinestones. There's a short story about him floati
ng around in my head but it hasn't decided to be written yet. Mostly because he doesn't have a name.
The pumkin head doll I also made last year. I made it for work and I thought (still think) he's the coolest thing ever. I priced it at $49.99 knowing that we have a 40% off coupon every week. Nobody bought it. Jerks. I had to buy my own damn pumpkin. I'm glad I did though. He sits in my studio all year making me happy instead of in somebody's basement in a box with all their other halloween decorations. So worth more than $30.00. I used a small white pumpkin and used paperclay to sculpt the face and add texture. I planned to cover the whole thing with tissue paper but didn't have any on hand so I used...maybe I shouldn't say. I used toilet paper. It gave it alot more texture and I really like the way it turned it out. Painted over that with pearlescent white, added the hair (picks from the bridal department, some spray painted black), but him on a broken candlestick spray painted black and added a black leaf garland for a collar. Love, love, love him.
