My Grandma got me into pouring resin and instant mold. These are my first attempts, and I don't think I did too badly.

Terrazzo-Inspired No-Carve DIY Pumpkins

Creating these DIY terrazzo-inspired pumpkins is a breeze! With just a few easy-to-find materials, you can add a vibrant splash of color to your holiday décor without any carving involved.

DIRECTIONS

Materials

Craft paint in your chosen color palette

Paint brushes (the smaller the better! Size 0 and 1 for corners and smaller pieces, probably no larger than size 4 or 5 for some of the larger pieces)

Paint palette or paper plate

Craft vinyl and scissors (optional)

Pumpkins in varying shapes and sizes

Step 1. Choose your color palette. I recommend selecting 4-6 colors per pumpkin. You can keep the color palette the same for each pumpkin, or mix things up a bit and choose several color combinations with some overlapping colors.

I chose a mix of pinks, peach, ochre (deep yellow), navy blue, shades of green, and rust. Each pumpkin had some pink and ochre, but otherwise I mixed things up a bit!

Step 2. Squeeze a small amount of each paint color onto a paint palette or paper plate. If necessary, mix colors to achieve the perfect shade of a particular color.

Starting with the first color, paint a few terrazzo-inspired geometric shapes around the pumpkin. You want these shapes to look like stone fragments, so geometric shapes with softer corners are definitely your friend here. Trapezoids, diamonds, irregular circles and rectangles, and triangles.

I found it easiest to paint a few larger shapes around the pumpkin to make sure the colors were evenly distributed, then fill in with smaller shapes. 

Step 3. Continue painting the entire pumpkin, and if necessary, apply a second or third coat of paint to ensure full-color coverage. Allow the paint to dry completely and enjoy!

NOTE: IF USING VINYL: If you’re using craft vinyl, you’ll basically do the same thing, except instead of painting you’ll use your scissors to cut terrazzo-inspired shapes from your craft vinyl.

Once you have a variety of shapes and colors cut, carefully peel the adhesive backing and apply to the pumpkin like a sticker. I found it easiest to start with some of the larger shapes randomly scattered around the pumpkin surface, then fill in with the smaller shapes as I went. I really didn’t have a plan, so you can totally just wing it! If you place a shape and then change your mind, you should be able to move it by very carefully peeling the vinyl from the pumpkin and moving it to a new spot.

so a few months back me and @bigyetimane got some canvas boards and mod podge to goof around with our stacks of old mags. And they just tickle me--

His is so nice and well staged with dramatic black spaces and color coordination and mines like HEE HOO CARTOONS AND A BAND STICKER FROM 2008

Bonus: I did manage to carefully remove this bad boy from an ancient, wrinkly gameinformer. So I got that goin for me.

Hey! Just a reminder that if you're bored and want to do art but feel you have no artistic skills, you can make paper snowflakes. I just remembered that's a thing I can do and it was very fun. All you need is paper and scissors! Check out the ones I made.

Nothing will dispell the "the curtains were just blue" myth faster than writing something yourself, because the amount of pretentious symbolism i am putting in my silly little fanfics is ridiculous. I mean SO much with these words, literally every single one of them. This fic has twenty five typos and zero correct uses of punctuation but if there's curtains you bet your ass I put thought into what colour they were.

I made @wolfythewitch 's fox Bill design out of polymer clay

It's pretty thin (so thin I'm afraid it'll snap in half anytime I lift it)
