Pumkin carriage..... racecar......

I finished S's pumpkin carriage for the Grand Am at preschool. It's a bit of a hybrid carriage / car, though, with the license plate and bumpers. What was hard about this project was trying to make it kid proof - a lot of time went into stabilizing it so that the kids won't destroy it. I AM a little concerned about the wheels though - they might fall off. When I made E's car several years ago, one of the wheels fell off during the race, but he still won!

I sprayed some pearlescent coat over it and added some sparkles, but they came out uneven. I used a guitar strap for the strap that supports the carriage around her neck.
