pumpkin-3.jpgOK, so maybe a little early..........  But I love Halloween so its never too early for me.  This set started out as a much-needed pin cushion.  The pumpkin is my own design, made with hand-dyed wools and stuffed with mostly glass beads and some fiberfill to round out.  The little bear is made with hand-dyed mohair - I don't even remember the starting color because I think I dyed it 3 or 4 times to get the right shade of grey-brown.   All that dyeing really distressed the mohair, which is perfect since that was the look I was going for.............  He is stuffed mostly with coarse "decorative" sand that my wonderfully supportive husband searched for and found for me.  The sand gives him a terrific heavy and slumpy feel.  This bear is small for me - only about 12 inches, but I am happy with how he and his pumpkin turned out.  So Happy Halloween!!!

Oh Connie...he is just perfect! I love Halloween...I am like you and could "make" Halloweeny (is that a word??!) things all year round. Your pumpkin is terrific...and the fur turned out sooo well.

Thank you Sandy and Nancy!  My husband, Sam,  and I were just trying to come up with names for this bear and his pin keep.  Sam said "Bear Witch Project"  which I thought was very funny.  So I may go with that.  Or "Shadow and the Great Pumpkin........."
