It's November already.  Here is a picture of the fall table.

I used this pumpkin for Halloween too and had candy eyeballs in his hands and our stash of chocolate all around him.  Now for November I put a tiny pumpkin and gourd in his hands.  The large pumpkin is synthetic.  I bought it from Michael's Arts and Crafts.  I covered it with a glaze of burnt umber, wiping off the high points with a damp paper towel and leaving it darker in the grooves. It tones down the bright orange and makes it look a little more realistic.

The hands and feet I ordered from the pumpkin masters at VILLAFANE STUDIOS.   I just love the twiggy/stem look.  They also have a top stem available, but I couldn't find any in stock, so I sculpted my own topper.  I made it out of Sculpey UltraLight clay and then baked it in the oven. When it cooled I used my acrylic paints and layered colors to match the hands and feet! I was really happy with the way it turned out and had a lot of fun doing it.

This month I remembered to take pictures of the group at the table!  Siri Weber Feeney is explaining her technique, to Gail Buschman, Bob McMahon, Linda Silvestri, Mary-Jo Murphy, Suzy Block, Diane Browning, Jodi Bonassi, Kat McDonough, Dan Hanna and me, Carol Heyer.

New art, new books, sketches and portfolios were shared.  Amazing art by a group of amazing artists.

In the picture above everyone is doing our favorite thing... eating!  After the art is put away we enjoyed homemade pumpkin soup by Mary-Jo Murphy, Individual pumpkin pies covered with whipped cream by Siri Weber Feeney, Our famous thrown together salad always delicious, chicken dumplings brought by Bob McMahon, homemade cake by Kat McDonough, and delicious French toast by Jodi Bonassi and so much more.    I hope you enjoyed joining us at the Illustrator's Table.  I hope you check back soon!
