I've often thought about making little polymer clay pumpkins/ Jack-o-lanterns. Those are cute!

This thread has got me brainstorming about how to make a little hollow jack-o-lantern. I was thinking it would easier to get a nice shape if I formed it around something, but that something would have to be dissolvable or something after baking the clay.

hmmm.....

Tabby, wonder if it would work if you could take newspaper, get it wet and form it into the shape you want. Then I'd let it dry. Form the clay around it and after you bake it, soak it in water and the newspaper should get wet enough to pull out.

I know it's past Halloween, but I'm still in a Halloween mood. I was seriously thinking about using paper like Chris suggested, until I found a youtube video that showed how to make a small pumpkin using a marble. The marble gets removed by cutting the pumpkin along the ribs on the side before baking, bake with the marble in it, and then gluing it back together once it's baked.. The rib hides the cut very well.

Here;s my first two. The first one is on the left and was a bit too thick, plus I over worked it a bit. The one on the right is thinner and was quicker to make.
I think I'll add a bit of paint to dull the orange down a bit and antique them a smidge.

Their lids come off. I made a hole in the bottom in case I want to put an led in them.
