When you live in a town that celebrates 1,000 pound gourds each year, it tends to rub off on you.

So, I created a pumpkin doll.

His arms, legs, and hands are wired for posing and his hair is locally raised mohair. The pumpkin is felted wool. He's about 8" tall sitting.
To make a long story short, he was sold this weekend and it feels really weird! I usually don't mind selling my dolls - I'm usually not very attached to them once they're completed - it's the proceess of making them that I really enjoy. But, this one was really unique. I don't know where the phrenology thing came from - maybe the lumpy pumpkin or looking at too many weird rubber stamp websites.
Well, now I'll just have to start working on next year's giant pumpkin doll!
I have been working on new projects - tomorrow morning when it's light out I should get some good photos for posting here.
