PuMpkiNs anD MoRe PuMpKins...


Well I finally finished up my last two pumpkins this morning...These are a bit time consuming as I wanted to put in the shading details etc..I LOVE how these turned out..I bought the pattern from Shirley Hudson Holidays on patternmart and had all the roving etc for about 2 years and wasn't using it..and I love pumpkins..so I went for it..and I am very pleased..These babys are up for sale on both my selling sites..will post them shortly..if you are interested let me know..

The one in the middle is my own design as I have the cute little tags that are on each of them...and one had an owl...so I enlarged it and think I did a pretty good job capturing him..the tag is attached to the pumpkin..I added 3-dimensional qualitys to all of these to make them stand out better..the two on the left has sticks for the branches that they are standing on..the kitty has a rusty safety pin with rusty bell for his collar) attached after the photo was taken..

The little one on the left is from Bird in the hand primitives..it is a stitchery...but I needle felted it instead..I added the little tendril...don'tcha just love the little green tendril on the pumpkin..:)The witch is my own design as well. I added flax to the witches hair and it looks so good..she also has little beady teeth sewn on. the kitty has a rusty bell sewn onto his purple collar

the crow has a rusty safety pin with bell for his wing..the spider is hanging from a twig that has been sewn on..

left side view of the bat..

candy corn..I shaded it so it would stand out better..Click on the photos to see the details..I also added real pumpkin stems that I have left dry and I also added little baby pine cones that drop in our yard so I E-6000 all of these and they are not going any where.. I also added stained cheesecloth to some of the stems...They range in sizes and shapes...all the details will be on my selling sites..Well tomorrow is the big day for my giveaway...so stay tuned for the details and how you can enter...Have a wonderful day!!!:)
