Hello Petaloo Fans.....
I can't hardly believe it....
School has begun and
Labor Day has come and gone
and here in the North Country
that means summer is over.
I LOVE FALL....
the season of color!
(and there are a few trees
already showing their colors)
Every year I create a pumpkin...
this year is no exception!
I began with one of those plastic/styrofoam pumpkins.
I painted on two layers of
Perfect Paints ~ Shimmering Matte Acrylic ~ Halo.
With a palette knife I applied a random layer of
Perfect Paints ~ Polishing Plaster ~ Doves Wings.
When dry, I applied a layer of
Perfect Paints ~ Perfect Glaze Medium.
Lastly, I applied a mix of
Perfect Paints ~ Shimmering Matte Acrylic
Aged Copper and Cajun Orange
and Perfect Glaze Medium.
Let it sit for a minute,
then wiped off with baby wipes.
I then took a package of
Petaloo Fancy Trims ~Burlap ~ Cream.
See the nice WIDE trim at the bottom??
....that is what I used!
First, I cut off about a 2.5" piece to create
a new stem for my pumpkin.
I also used another piece of Burlap Trim
to cut out a circle
to adhere inside the "stem".
With what was left over I
cut it into sections, then cut the sections in half.
I then colored the edges of all the burlpa with
Perfect Paints ~ Shimmering Matte Acrylic
Aged Copper.
When dry, I applied everything to the pumpkin
with Ranger's Multi Medium ~ Matte.
Now....onto decorating my pumpkin!!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW FALL PICKS!!!
They are TOTALLY AMAZING!!
Petaloo's Fall Maple Leaf Pick &
Beaded Acorn Pick
TOTALLY PERFECT for my pumpkin!
Here are the "sides" of my pumpkin...
The Petaloo ~ Burlap Small Sunflowers
were the PERFECT Fall flower to add!
I like to bend the "stems" of the leaves
to give them added dimension.
And one ALWAYS needs a "loopy bow"
created from
Petaloo Fancy Trims ~ Burlap ~ Cream.
I hope you have enjoyed this years pumpkin!
I know I sure had fun creating it....
It will make a BEAUTIFUL center piece at our
Thanksgiving Family Dinner!
