Bumpy Pumpkins

I finished my first Bumpy Pumpkin. He is just my practice doll. 

I did learn alot about mixing mediums like papermache, wood and paperclay. Making an armature using foil and wire which I had problems with on the tiny details like fingers. One of his fingers cracked. I think I have a better solution on the next one.
Here I was trying a way to make his cloths fit his body and seal them but forgot to put the words on his shirt right side up! LOL

His running buddy for trick or treating I'm happy with, right down to his scary cat candy bucket.
Also the candy container needed to be bigger. Learning proportions is going to be a challenge for me!
Two of his four hands are holding up his cloths. I guess human cloths don't fit pumpkin vines well. LOL You can see his cracked finger on his hand
I'm pleased with his tennis shoes, and the lawn he dropped his candy on.






All in all I had fun using so many different art mediums to make him. I'm starting my next one in a few days.
