More Halloween crafts from the past. This was the first paperclay figure I ever made and it was a learning experience trying to figure out how to make the armature to apply the paperclay to. I'm satisfied with how her head came out but I really don't like everything from the neck down, especially the arms. If I ever make another one, I'll definitely work on making her not look like she swallowed a beach ball.
That's so adorable!! I can't believe you MADE that!! I like the arms and round opu. So cute!

That's charming, Myra! It was your first experience in this medium? How about sharing your experience and posting about paperclay and how to make a workable armature?

I think she's absolutely adorable! I totally hear her saying, "Really? And they give me candy for this? Amazing!!!!!" But that's just me. The pumpkin is crazy cute, too! Did you make that out of paperclay as well?

Sorry, but I love it! And, I especially love the jack-o-lantern she's standing above. That's cute!

You made that? WOw! Now I'm impressed - and that cat hasn't swallowed a ball but a big orange pumpkin, right!? :-)

I find the first picture rather hilarious, as the cat looks...um...well endowed, thanks to the background.
