Not really sure where to post this, I don't know if I'll be making full sets or just leaving these as little charms (watch by tomorrow I'll be chalk full of how to turn these in to finished pieces) so for now I'll just leave them here.
Since Autumn is upon us, my favorite time of the year, and I love pumpkins I did a search on deviant art for inspiration and I found a lot! I remembered I recently purchased a box of wooden beads for a custom order that only required the blues and greens. I decided to attempt all 3 sizes and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. The leaves and vines are all painted by hand, since I don't have a fancy tiny thin paint brush (mine are thin but double what I needed) I painted the smallest of the pumpkins using a tooth pick.
I have made 2 large, 2 medium, and 4 smalls currently. Only the smallest ones have the same type of bead for the stems, the rest are all from a bead soup mix (aka the mystery bag buy option from firemountaingems).
