Over the long holiday weekend, I decided to devote some time to arts and crafts. It wasn't in my original plans, but I came across some paper mache pumpkins at the store and decided to get them to decorate.
I didn't have a plan in mind for the design, but I knew I wanted to start with an orange base to start. To my surprise the color turned out very realistically. It's probably one of those things where things work out when you're not trying hard.
In any case, the color worked out very well. I ended up painting a simple flower design with some iridescent liquid acrylic and then went over the design with a darker shimmery pen.
Overall, it's a very subtle design. It's been some time since I sat down to do some arts and crafts so it was a nice change of pace. Now I have a pumpkin to display during the Autumn season and something that I can reuse for years to come.
