final pampkin

remember all the way back to april and easter. there was a chill in the air, my internet was out and i made some monster factory easter eggs. 

i am finding that i am not finished with final pam as a subject matter all these months later. oh, i love her so! this year for halloween, i made a final pam pumkin or final pampkin, if you will. (oh, you will.) here she is!

and a rapid fire time lapse gif of me making it.

my set up, in case you were wondering. i am low fi as always.

it's been a while since i've done any sort of stenciling, so i shaded pam to make sure she would work before i transferred her to the pumpkin.

this is her on her gourd.

and THIS is a makeshift transfer tool i made with an embroidery needle and an xacto. (what happened to my x barrel xacto? who knows. the single slot worked fine.)

one last behind the scenes photo of a reverse punched pam.

i'll probably be making more pumpkins this year as i can GET THEM DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE (heart you, chicago!!) but until then, why not enjoy this animation where pam fixes the baby? (i love it almost as much as chicago!)

edit 10/15/17-- final pam is no more. 6 days after carving she started getting mushy. poor pam. you will be missed.
