| PUMPKIN HATS made from a marshmallowy bakeable "secret" clay..see below |
So a couple of photos of my paperclay doll and embellishing workshop at Art is....This was just a "thrilling" class....everyone worked hard for two solid days...the class was filled with amazing mixed media and doll artists ......and a very talented doll Artist helper, Heather Brauner ........Missy Munroe is not in any of the pics as she left a day early, Sorry Missy!!!
Now on to Halloween....not much time.... no more lolligagging.......but two Pumpkin Girls have been started! My trade this year was a mold and instruction for creating these funky little pumpkins!

The Mold....Amazingly...I found in the Dollar store!!!! An Ice cube tray!!! Wow....best find yet!!! when I bent the tray in half...the stems ended up going in the same direction, creating a 3d pumkin mold. I used a pretty cool clay that i had bought a year ago .... I hated it so I so i tossed it aside. surprisingly it never hardened even though I didnt cover it....what the ???? well I finally read the directions...and what I thought was a marshmallowy air dry clay...is actually a clay THAT MUST BE BAKED....! WOW...IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY IN THE MOLD AND BAKED SMOOTH AND LIGHT!!! hooray FOR "PLUFFY".... IN THE KIDS CLAY AT MICHAELS!!!! HAHAH

The dolls are FABULOUS! and the hats are SO cool!

Colleen,
Congrats on your class, the dolls look GREAT! Hey..those pumpkin mold hats are really something...you are so creative...how do you come up with this stuff? Thanks for sharing all your great finds!
Gotta love the dollar stores! I don't know Pluffy, but the pumpkins came out really nice from that mould. Ill be looking at ice cube trays differently now. (I usually thing about putting chocolate in them. I hadn't thought about doll accessories)
And hurry! Halloween is coming!
Wow that was a happy accident. The pumpkin hats look so adorable.
Thanks for sharing your pics! I love the idea of pumpkin hats. I will have to check out those molds! I was unable to attend this years AIY, but I look forward to meeting you in the future. bz Bettisbeehive.com
