And, I mean for the pets. I have no idea\u00a0why I started calling\u00a0my dog and\u00a0cat &#8216;pumpkin head&#8217;, and I never really visualized what the phrase meant. But, now I have!<\/p>\n<p>This all too cute and beautifully painted pumpkin headed creature comes straight from the imagination of sculptor, illustrator and toy designer, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrisryniak.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Ryniak<\/a>. The paint work on this is really detailed, and the expression is fantastic. Don&#8217;t you just want to cuddle and comfort those poor little guys beside him. What faces!<\/p>\n<p>Although, I couldn&#8217;t find a reference to the materials used in this particular set, resin and epoxy painted with acrylics are\u00a0the most commonly listed material in other similar items I found by\u00a0Chris. He\u00a0has a lot of similar work he shares on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrisryniak.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">his website <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chrisryniak\/sets\/72157641863483393\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr pages<\/a>. All of it is incredibly adorable. If you are up for some ohs and ahs, click through and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>So a very spirited\u00a0Halloween, Day of the Dead, Samhain, All Saints Eve, or whatever it is you do celebrate today. Enjoy it and stay safe!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription or issue of The Polymer Arts magazine as well as supporting our
