Adventures in Crafty Sculpture

My absolute favorite medium in the Crafty Sculpture Genre, is of course, aluminum foil and masking tape. However, these two projects are mostly constructed of cardboard, and then whatever else I could find.

Project #1: Corncob Leprechaun Pipe for Jason (Allison's Beau) St. Patrick's Day Celebration

Materials: Corrugated cardboard, toilet-paper tube, hot glue, corn kernels, coffee stir sticks, aluminum foil, masking tape, gold glitter and paint.

Inside the Leprechaun Pipe is the where the gold lies!


A closer view of my attempt to make it look like a corncob pipe...it worked well.


The other side


And finally, the bottom with inscription and lucky bronze clover!


Project #2: Magical Miniature Top Hat for Robin

Materials: cardboard, toilet-paper tube, hot glue, paint, pipe-cleaners, beads, shoe-lace, sequins, fake flower, upcycled lock nut, plastic jewels and marble.


This hat actually consists of three layers: the base, a sunstar center which is slightly raised (though difficult to tell from the picture), and the top of the hat


On the top, the red crown-looking circle is a damaged electrical part called a lock nut that I painted red, a beautiful blue marble that I found in skua, a glow-in-the-dark star and then a star bead



Worn slightly to the side for a very Mad Hatter effect!
