Thread: Pumpkin Clock

Tweet

Hey Guys! Its been awhile since I've been on here. Anyway, here's a clock that I recently put together. Yes the candles light up and so does the one in the pumpkin.



I can't figure out what to put on top? A whole bunch of little candles? A gargoyle, skull? Or just leave it. Also, crackle paint, I got the cheap stuff at Michaels, SUX!!! Should I crackle it up, how would I weather it and make it look old?
Also, Spider webs, I have the generic cotton stuff, but I'm trying to make this as authentic as possible. How would I make real looking fake spiderwebs and manipulate them at my will? buah ha ha! Ideas please!! Thanks!

I like the idea of a gargoyle, maybe like the one from the haunted mansion holding two more candles, not sure about the crackle paint but aging it would make it look even better ... Great looking prop, can't wait to see it finished.

I would put an raven, like an animated one.

Make the cobwebs with a hot glue gun and a trigger nozzel on the hose of an air compressor. Very convincing. I like the idea of a gargoyle to hold the candles, or a 'wrought iron' web arch to set on top.

First, I love this clock. As for what should go on the top, the raven and gargoyle ideas are great. Here's one for the hopper...a black cat?

I think the pumpkin and the candles already give it a creepy enough look. On top I would just add a classic finial like one of these http://superpageshosting.com/statewi...s/finials1.jpg

this is the one I made last year , to age it you can do a old aged wood technique, google seach deadspider she has a technique on her website, as for a topper i agree with Dj

I looked up Deadspider and she has a lot of rockin' stuff on her website, iHauntu, are you talking about the faux-wood technique? Was just looking for an old warn out effect...
I like Dj's idea as well and got to thinking, maybe a small Graveyard Fence with a tombstone up top??
Need some more ideas, thanks for the ones you guys already gave! Lets keep goin!!

Love both clocks.
