Soft In The Head
Peter, Peter the Pumpkin Eater

 
In the land of Autumn where the colors always stay a vibrant gold, orange, red and brown lives a unique group of citizens, the Faes or Pixies to most. They are a proud race and thrive by keeping their part of the earth serene and bountiful.
 
 Peter has always had the greenest thumb when it came to the pumpkins.  His mastery with this giant orange orb has never been surpassed by another Pixie.  With each new pumpkin that is picked Peter takes a sample to taste to guarantee the quality.  After all Faerie Folk are not easily impressed, it has always got to be the best!   The place the sample is removed from is never noticed by the humans that, also love the pumpkins.  Peter can often be seen rolling unwanted orange orbs to his home where his wife/partner will cut them up to make an ambrosia that even the Faerie Kings travel long distances for.   Peter usually is helping himself with handfuls of the orange goodness and having a seed spitting contest with anyone we wants to sit a spell!
 
“Peter, Peter” is mounted on top of a dowel that is attached to a thick square wood base.  The base is painted black with orange dots and has been distressed and waxed.  Peter, his self, is made from painted and distressed muslin.  He has a needle-sculpted face with tiny stitched eyelashes.   Peter measures approximately 16” tall.  He’s wearing a brown flannel coat  with hood that has gone through many distressing processes.  The hood and the front of the coat has tarnished brass tacks,  The belt Peter is wearing is made from Hemp and has a series of knots with three small skeleton keys added.  Peter’s hands are a unique process of wrapped wire and do bend.  Peter has a piece of pumpkin in one hand and a whole pumpkin in the other.  Both are made from painted and waxed fabric.

“Mister Jolly”
 
I absolutely love this guy.  He is a bit different from my other “pumpkin heads” this one is a much more whimsical and just plain fun!  He measures 14” tall.
 
Mister Jolly is made from painted muslin that has gone through a distressing process.  He is mounted on top a very old and rustic dowel that I found buried in my yard while I was gardening.  What a treasure it became once it was cleaned up.  Haven’t a clue how old it is but I do know the place I live in is over 100 years old.
 
Mister Jolly has a black neck collar with a slick orange/black flannel over-lay.  Each point has a rusty safety pin with a rusty bell attached.  Jolly’s face is painted and stitched, the eyes being wool felt.  Jolly is wearing a great witches hat made from felt and calico.  He has three rusty bells on hemp cord hanging from the tip of the hat and two curly-Q wires mounted from the opposite side.  On the base of the pedestal, J-O-L-L-Y letters dress it up!  The base is also felt covered on the bottom to protect your furniture.  This guy is really fun and awesome for any Hallow décor.

The Dance Recital!
 
Penelope the mouse has been practicing long and hard for this special day, her “Dance Recital”.  She can’t wait to see the look on her parents face as she bends and twists to the rhythm of the music.  Her new pink tu-tu and toe shoes give her that extra confidence all little girls need when living their dream!
 
“Penelope” measures 8” tall including the shoe.  The shoe is a patent leather little girls shoe that has a antique piece of pink quilt making up the pin cushion.  Penelope is mounted into the shoe on a wire that runs through her body.  Her other leg also has a wire so it ca be posed.  She is made from a natural homespun fabric that has been coffee dyed.  Her panties and shoes are painted on.  Her face is hand-stitched with black floss thread for eyes, nose and mouth,  her whiskers are sisal rope fibers. Penelope’s tu-tu is her pride and joy and is layers of pink tulle that has been distressed and sewn to make the tu-tu.  Penelope has her arms stretched out holding her magic wand so she can grant some wishes.  All in all Penelope is one very happy little mouse!
