Happy Halloween and a tutorial- how to make a polymer clay pumpkin

Image
Hello everybody! Happy Halloween!  I know, I know. It's a bit late to bring you a tutorial on how to make a polymer clay pumpkin . My fault. I apologize. But so far this has been a crazy week for me even if we don't celebrate Halloween in Portugal.  I found this tutorial on Facebook and I thought it was great. The artist stated it was free to share.

Source Samantha Lee's site is about illustration but is also about food. She doesn't use color crayons or ink to illustrate. Instead, Samantha plays with food to create whimsical illustrations.

This Malaysian mother with two daughters has more than  260,000  followers on Instagram. She started doing this food art in 2008 to encourage her elder daughter to eat! She also has a blog  and a Facebook page . Not boring at all!

But they create handmade work and they sell it using blogs and personal sites or places like Etsy.  I guess it will not be boring!  What's your say? This happens mainly because I love handmade work. Most people do. I think handmade creations are somehow more authentic and likable. Maybe it's because we can't find two exactly the same. That tiny amount of difference is what makes each piece of work unique and less perfect than something that's mass-produced. But that's why we like handmade. Because it reminds us of ourselves. We all are individuals, we are unique. And each one of us is a work of art! Instead of cold and automatic machines, handmade creations have humans in control of the process.  A machine uses energy to create a product. An artist uses passion. A machine works without breaks and fast. A p
