Blog hop - Pumpkin Pick'n Tree




I am so excited you join use on this Blog Hop.  I am happy with my project and I am excited to share it with you.  I hope it help you think out of the box and try something new.  I hope you check out the Design Team call for Creative Paperclay® while you were on that blog, you could be part of the next hop, how excited would that be??? 


I made a Pumpkin Pick'n Tree - complete from scratch, I had a blast. 

Wire Form
I made a hand made wire form of a tree, then I covered the wire with Foil. 
Add Foil then Creative Paperclay®


After my I completely covered my wire form with Foil, I started to add my Creative Paperclay®
I then flatten section of Creative Paperclay® into a bark texture stamp and added this to my tree.  Give my tree a look of bark (I did not cover the whole tree, I want this tree to look very old)
I then started to paint my tree with Acrylic Paints and added some REAL moss from my tree outside. 

My Molds of Pumpkins.  


I made some orange Resin by mixing Yellow and Red Dye from Allumlite (the people who make Amazing Mold Putty and Amazing Casting Resins) into my Casting Resin and pour into the molds, but I did add my string for my ornaments to hang from before the Resin set up.   
When my Pumpkin Ornaments were set up (about 10 minute) I added some rub and buff and hung them from the tree.

Wonderful decoration! I made a similar tree out of florist tape - but the paper clay is a fab addition! Now I have to go remake mine - damn you LOL.
The Blog Hop is lots of fun - looking forward to hopping off to more blogs!

Very clever! Trees are hard to make. I've never had success at it. Perhaps your tutorial will help me get it right. :) Thanks!
