My poor, poor pumpkins. The mice in my garage decided they were good to eat. So I have had to repair damage using tape and cardboard. And none of their designs were what I wanted due to the holes they ate/ created! I've decided not to water seal them, and just keep them up on our porch for the season until that night if it dosen't rain! My little 'ghostie' pumpkin was so bad that I decided to 'fleck stone' spray paint him in grey. So he's now Rocky the Ghost. The two smaller ones, Fred decided to paint with acrylics so thickly, that they are now going to be stone sprayed in terracotta tomorrow. But my big guy shows alot of tape and card board repairs. So he just got alot of dry brush yellow and some hot glue fill ins. I imagine and hope that at night they will look good.
It's been a learning experience, and now I know I need to go slower. Use better paper clay. And keep them out of my garage! I still have time to make a few more, but I really want to get some skeletons and a grim reaper made....more to come on those ideas.
