Fall Harvest Wagon

Happy Monday! I’m so excited, because I have another new project to share with you! I’ve spent the weekend working on this adorable Fall Harvest Wagon, complete with banner sign and pumpkins to fill the wagon. This fun & adorable wagon is a perfect addition to your fall décor.

PUMPKINS FOR ALL!

I’ve found another terrific supplier, this time in Canada, who creates amazing wood cut projects.  Me, the artist, gets to assemble and decorate them however I like! So of course, I brought out the paints and my resin for some fabulous colours and depth. Here’s the completed Fall Harvest Wagon.

The shine from the resin is amazing!

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The kit comes unassembled, ready for me to design and paint. The only parts that I left unpainted are the wood slats on the sides of the wagon. Everything else is hand painted by me. The pumpkins are initially in 2 pieces each; the flat shape, and the cut out front panel. Each pumpkin is painted, then prepped and filled with tinted resin. I chose 2 different oranges  with gold glitter for the small and medium pumpkins, and a copper mica for the large one.

The ‘fall harvest’ words on the front banner are covered with gold foil, and then attached to the orange painted banner. It hooks onto the front of the wagon, and is removable. The wagon handle is assembled, but can be removed for easier storage, when harvest season is over.

This adorable wagon measures approximately 12.5″ long, 4.5″ high and is 1.5″ deep.  The pumpkins measure between 4″ – 8″, and the banner is 2″ x 8″.  All of the pieces are laser cut wood.  Here’s another look, below.

The wheels are fixed; they don’t roll. So you don’t have to worry about your décor rolling away on you!

The pumpkins are individual, so you can arrange them however you like. Below is a photo of the pumpkins, out of the wagon.

MORE WAGONS TO COME!

This Fall Harvest Wagon is the first of 3 that I’m working on. The other 2 are Christmas themed; one has 3 ornaments, the other has 3 presents.  Each will have it’s own wagon.

Just like my Aurora Borealis Bear, these projects are one-of-a-kind. So if you want to claim this Fall Harvest Wagon with pumpkins as your own, before it hits my Shop, drop me an email at thistledesigns@shaw.ca   This would be the perfect addition to your fall home décor, or make a great gift! By the way – I just shipped the Aurora Borealis Bear to his new home today – he’ll be there by the end of the week!

I've always liked to create things, but I'm not a great artist, or sculptor, or any type of 'traditional' artist - but I love to create! I love the satisfaction of a completed project. Whether a card, painting or other project - as long as it can create a smile, evoke a feeling, or some type of reaction in the recipient. I hope you will enjoy sharing my creations, and occasional ramblings; I'd enjoy having you create with me! :)
