PUMPKIN MAN ART DOLL WIP

With summer coming to an end I'm back in the Stitch Fiddler Studio working on a Pumpkin Man. The summer months are filled with gardening, planting, cycling and just enjoying nature.

                                        

 I made a wire armature, covered with yarn and started adding bits of batting to build up his body. I would say that most of the time goes into building up the doll's body. 

                                                                               The Fun is adding the color and bringing the art doll to life.

FOLK ART SCARECROW STUMP DOLL

Scarecrow by Bethann Scott

 I love these Folk Art Scarecrow dolls. I finally have it down to a science! I've tried different paint colors and love this one. I mix it up with a little water and add a secret ingredient at the end of drying time. He has a hood and black leather hat.
