Pumpkin Voodoo Doll

I've created a Pumpkin-Voodoo-Doll. It will be hung up in my office.

Paper Pattern

I printed paper patterns to set the size. The arms and legs are made of a rope.

Sewing

I transferred the paper patterns to the fabric (fleece) and sewed it together. During the sewing process I lost the traditional pumpkin shape in some places; it looks more like Wee Bee Little now. And there we have its name!

Assembly

After turning the inside out, filling and assembling the Wee Bee Little with the remaining fabric and some cotton, I tied a rope (hangman's noose). The neck is supported by a cardboard roll.

3D Prints

I've 3D printed the eyes, nose, mouth and the stem. Later I decided to omit the nose and painted the eyes, mouth and stem with black and red acrylic paint. There is a nail in the right eye. The eyes are glued on and the mouth is attached with safety pins.

In addition, the hands were put in black chains and I added a few seams.

Finale

To pin the needles I stuck - with masking tape covered - small cork boards to the hands and feet and hung a larger one around the neck. The text is exemplary. I will replace it for my purposes.
