Penelope Pumpkin Zoom Workshop

 



Miss Penelope Pumpkin

 

Join me, via Zoom, to create this whimsical Fall~Halloween pumpkin doll.  She is 13 inches tall from the top of her stem to the tip of her toes.   Her legs are connected via wire so they dangle and move.  She is a wonderful Fall decoration and as Halloween approaches she has her JOL treat bucket to generate a more Halloween-Y feel.  

If traditional Halloween colors aren't your thing, dress her in vintage pink, blue, warm fall colors or a lovely creamy neutral, which goes with everything!

 

This workshop will take place in two parts.  

Part 1 - will be the sculpting piece of the workshop
