Road to Nowhere

Road to Nowhere
Difficulty:

Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Whimsical, Holiday


Materials

Artifical pumpkin, craft paper, fine glitter, styrofoam, craft glue, craft wire

What was your inspiration?

This artificial pumpkin was commissioned by a client for her husband as a Halloween tribute to his film production company. I took the company logo (an allee of trees with a winding road, seen from a chained off fence) and created a spooky version of it. I used a paper punch of a graveyard scene at the end of the road to emphasize the final destination ;)

What are you most proud of?

The cut paper trees - I photocopied my design in graduated sizes and cut them out so that when assembled they'd give the perspective of distance.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take the time to learn to papercut with precision and care - in a small project like this detail is everything!

I've never seen an artificial pumpkin over here in Australia. I love the Halloween theme and we do celebrate All Hallow's Eve here at home, we do different themes each year. I think what you did is beautiful, love the effect. :)
