Here is an evil witch I carved and decorated for 2018. Her chin, eyes, nose and teeth were all done separately and added on.
I carved out the mouth and left a bit to form her gums so I could stick her teeth in later on. I scooped out her eye sockets so her eyeballs would sit inside them.
I formed her chin and nose using an aluminum foil form and paper mache. I used equal parts white glue and water along with cheap 1 ply napkins to give texture.
I attached these with hot glue and toothpicks to give stability, then paper mached a couple layers over the entire pumpkin to blend them into the surface.
Overall, I did about 3 layers of paper mache.
I painted her with green acrylic paint all over. The eye sockets are black and the gums and mouth are red.
Next were her teeth. I made them out of pink polymer clay and baked them in the oven for about 5 mins. I painted them white then added a watered-down brown which I wiped off. I added hot glue and some thin wire onto the back so that I could stick them firmly into the gums.
I used bouncy balls cut in half for her eyes. I painted them white, then made a red iris and black pupil. I attached them using toothpicks and hot glue into the black sockets.
I made a couple warts out of air dry clay and attached them with hot glue to her nose and chin.
I added a black wig which I hot glued to the top of her head along with a witch hat.
Thanks for having a look.
Talk to ya soon. xx
