Hello, Creatives!! It's
Rachel here! The weather here is feeling more and more like Fall every day, and it's gotten me in the mood to create some goodies for Halloween!! Today, I'm going to share my process for making this spooky Jack 'O Lantern Pumpkin using
Creative Paperclay® modeling material.
If you'd like to make one for yourself,
YOU WILL NEED:
I started by creating my base shape using the techniques I have shared with you in
PREVIOUS POSTS. Once the base' clay is dry, I made "ribs" for the pumpkin by rolling out some rough shapes.
Then I laid the ribs onto the base shape, and pressed the ribs into it while they were still wet. To make the dry clay and the still wet clay stick, use some water to wet the dry clay. This will create a good bond between the two pieces.
Here's what the ribs looked like when I was done pressing and shaping them onto the base.
Once the ribs were dry, I painted grey stripes into the valley areas of each rib. Then I followed behind the stripe with some stain to shade and blend the lines a little bit.
Next, I painted a Jack 'O Lantern face onto my pumpkin using black paint, and then added more shading with the stain. While that paint was drying, I made a crepe paper collar and glued that to the top of my candle stick. Then I turned the stick upside down to help hold the collar into place while the glue dried.
Here is the finished piece!!
