Ready for my crazy idea? Fur pumpkins! Yep! Fur! My husband and kids gave me some crazy looks when I announced the idea. I REPURPOSED two fur coats to make pumpkins! I didn't quite know what to expect, but listed them for sale in the Spring, just slowly getting ready for fall. Well, they sold within a few days ---- and that was in the Spring, when I thought no one would be shopping for fall stuff. I was just listing things slowly so I wouldn't be rushed in the early fall...Hmmmm, I said....crazy imaginations have their uses!
Here's the original set. Rhinestones and Crystals and Fur, OH MY!!
Yes, indeed...rhinestones! And the roses -- I made with smaller pieces of the beaded gowns.
Here is the faux fur set. For this one, I made silk chiffon roses for embellishments.
Such a delicate look.
Since the fur sets sold, though, I had to make some more fur pumpkins!
Must have BLING.....
Lots of silk chiffon roses on these. I sit and make them on long car trips, while I watch my son play long baseball tournaments, while I wait for my daughter's dance classes. Always bring a project bag wherever I go!
When I got to the turquoise fabrics....I went a little bonkers....
What's life without a little imagination and creativity? Make something imaginative today - it's fun!
Happy creating, everyone!
Hugs, Catherine
