If there is one day out of the year that my husband loves, it is Halloween. We get revved up for Halloween even before school goes back in September, we look for costumes, treats and decorations!
Our next Etsy feature is Pumpkin Hollow, where people like my hubby can enjoy Halloween all year through, and find amazingly unique works of art. 'M' and her husband (Pumpkinrot) are true Halloween enthusiasts and their passion shines through when you visit and view their collections.
What will we find when visiting Pumpkin Hollow?
Jack o'lanterns & various creatures...such as cloaked pumpkinheaded figures, zombies or corpses (known as "groundbreakers") and other flights of Halloween fancy.
M's work
These are available in all shapes and sizes, but 'M' is particularly fond of more traditional ones, like this guy.
Getting to know 'M', the artist behind Pumpkin Hollow....
My husband, Pumpkinrot, has been making Halloween since he was a kid. Once he was too old to trick or treat, he began doing yard haunts and making props. Once we married, I convinced him to try selling on Etsy...we've been selling ever since. My jack o'lanterns weren't a part of the initial plan, but I started tinkering with clay and twigs and paint and, well, my jack o'lanterns came to be and evolved.
Pumpkinrot's work
What can we expect to find in your shop in the coming weeks and months?
More Halloween! We kind of go where inspiration takes us. There's never really a concrete plan, we just get ideas, try them out, and if they work they may end up on the shop.
M & Pumpkinrot's work
Where else can we connect and find you?
Pumpkinrot.com. It features my husband's works through the years, including yard haunts, videos, various props and photo shoots.
Also, he has a blog that he updates several times a day that is chock full of Halloween. He features other artists, music, shares Halloween memories, features movies, and an amazing array of Halloween goodness: http://pumpkinrot.blogspot.com/. We get over 3,000 hits a day during the Halloween season. I believe it is his obvious pure love for the holiday that keeps readers coming back.
I am usually a cutsie Halloween person, so I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at when I first took a look through Pumpkin Hollow. But, once I was browsing, I found a vast collection of works of art, procured by talented artists. 'M' and her husband have taken their love for Halloween, and let their passion evolve into unique and meticulously crafted items.
I received this little traditional Jack O'Lantern from Pumpkin Hollow. My little Jack arrived specially packaged with lots of extra touches. M takes the time to package not just carefully, but, also with lots of Halloween spirit. As soon as I started to open my box I was smiling and I knew that Halloween had arrived!
I can definitely see an entire family of little Jacks nestled across the mantel. These are a great addition to our Halloween decorations and he has become a great conversation starter. I love my little Jack...just looking at him you know his creation was powered by the love of Halloween.
