I wish I had the real thingThis is my first foray into the world of primitive arts and crafts, though some may allude to my more primitive style to begin with. Its a muslin triangle machine sewn and filled with poly-fil, painted with acrylic paints, then dirtied up with a mixture of espresso grounds, water, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, and then baked in the oven for a bit. The whole house smelled like autumn, it was gorgeous. For a first attempt I think it turned out pretty good, and I may do some more candy corn to make a lovely Halloween display on the heart as Halloween is by far my most favourite holiday. I started a black cat in the primitive style as well but it has yet to be dirtied up and baked... I'm just happy to have the time and inspiration to craft again!
p.s. I wish I had some candy corn....

I love the idea of baking those yummy smells in... and I always wondered why shops of primitive craft smell so good! xo
i think that your candy corn is great - i love the grungy look of it!
and i've NEVER ever eaten candy corn :0(
The cat sounds interesting, can't wait to see him (or her!)
!!! You baked Polyfill! Amazing.
Juanita.. the oven was low .. I would assume if the oven was high it might burst into flames! O_O
Can I ask how you go about scenting and baking your work? Thanks :)
Wow, amazing. I bet the smell was delicious.
