Jeweled Velvet

 I have been working on adding some jewels to two small pumpkins I got at Joann's fabric. I want a couple large ones also but Joan's only have the smaller ones. They were 30 % off the day I bought them. Now 40 % off so go get you some . I am not a fan of Orange but what are you to do when it's fall and pumpkin time ? use orange velvet. I used an orange velvet flower off of an old hat I got I bet 15 years ago and an old cameo I have had in my jewels  in the studio then tied some orange seam binding that has been in a drawer of about 50 packages of vintage seam bindings.

Oh and I am not a huge Halloween fan I just like Velvet Pumpkins so decorating them for the studio, girls & boys  I am not getting a jump on the holiday Halloween. I guess i should have named them Cameo Pumpkins. I can still add some rhinestones

                                                 


This is the green one I like much better and even had an old green cameo for her pretty top
I have an old lace blouse I bought once in a rag bag and love it so cut a strip off for a tie for Miss Green Pumpkin 



Here is what they looked like before I added my touches on them both . When I first seen velvet pumpkins arrive on blogs I wanted some.That was about 3 years ago wasn't it ? maybe 4 








That is my latest project and I have about 20 waiting on me, I am sure you can relate to this? We just don't have enough time or energy to get it all done

    I am not a huge Halloween fan, either, and don't decorate for it but I do love the way your pumpkins turned out and I think they will make lovely autumn decor. Oh, I don't want Summer to end yet!!!

    I LOVE the way those turned out! They are really gorgeous. I don't do Halloween so much as I do Fall. I love Fall decorations and can hardly believe we are coming up on that already- xo Diana

    Now that is my kind of Halloween decor!!! You know I never met a cameo, piece of lace, or jewel that I didn't love. A blinged up pumpkin (and in velvet, too!) .... I LOVE it!!!
    Hugs,
