Well, This is what I've been busying working on. I've been taking tons of pics and even discovered that I could attach my pictures to a blog site using my photobucket account. As I work on the Pumpkin Guy I will update the blog how-to.

Totally cool work Black Cat! Thank you for not only posting pics but a great how-to as well. This is something that I'm going to have to try.

Thanks everyone, I'll post more pictures as soon as my daughter returns home with the camera. She's off to Florida on a school band trip, hopefully taking lots of pics.

Ok some added updates on the pumpkin guy. Been a little busy but am back working on the pumpkin guy. I'm trying to finish him so I can bring him to the Pa. gathering and show him off.

Thanks Oct31, working with wire and latex doesn't always work out for me either. I've been improvising with the pumpkin guy so I can make him fatter and rounder. I should have added more wiring to him before I started but I'm liking the effect that I have created. It sure is using up a ton of latex though. The prop is now standing tall at just under 3 foot not including the stem and 2 feet wide including his hands. Will post more pics. as soon I can.

I added more pics to the site. I started working on the vine for him and fattened him up a bit. Will hopefully get around to working on the blog site later today to bring it up to date.
