We have no putka pods in Europe. The nearest things that look like mini pumpkins are spindletree pods. They are also cute and perfect to make another Halloween project with copper.  Supplies Spindle Tree pods (or Putka pods) Copper Wire 0.6 mm: https://amzn.to/3LwdFtM | https://ebay.to/3Iifrxj Wrap n tap pliers https://amzn.to/3DxT9YM | https://ebay.to/3N4yMFJ Nippers: https://amzn.to/38p5eST | https://ebay.to/3BQzX62 CA Glue https://ebay.to/3pfSgfL | https://amzn.to/3gkYJ49 Conductive Paint  https://ebay.to/3CtqeVc | https://amzn.to/3okY7QA All the electroforming supplies https://kit.co/cuforming/electroforming-advanced-kit Liver of Sulfur https://ebay.to/3BOoR1i | https://amzn.to/3Gt7p34 Zapon Lack: https://ebay.to/35BMb6z additional supplies ring hoop Tweezers: https://amzn.to/3tgwY2S | https://ebay.to/35aY2IZ Copper wire 0.3 mm: https://amzn.to/3LwdFtM | https://ebay.to/3Iifrxj Pendant chain: https://amzn.to/3M7VFac | https://ebay.to/3IsXkou Lobster clasp ...

 Halloween is coming. It's the holiday that scares kids and makes them happy. Also, adults got happy and scared by lots of things, various kind of monsters wandering around, creepy dead things, bats, owls and spiders... well some people are scared of spiders no matter what day is. My idea is simple: a spider that is scary and a pumpkin that bring everybody the spirit of Halloween, in an object that is seen everywhere during these days. Here my Spider Candleholder for Halloween shaped like a Pumpkin!

  I wanted to make this project for the end of summer, but it took me more than 45 days to complete it. Different arts are involved here, sculpting with Apoxie, casting resin to make eyes and of course electroforming. It was challenging, but I finally manage to come to an end.  Did everything go right? No! It came out gorgeous? In my opinion, YES! This is my octopus on a bottle. Please enjoy it.   Supplies needed: a bottle with cap Vinegar Sulfuric acid (this is not mandatory) http://ebay.to/37boFhw | https://amzn.to/3NKa4u Apoxie Sculpt https://ebay.to/3URwopj | https://amzn.to/36N1TfF Modelling tools https://ebay.to/3srynEG | https://amzn.to/3pksmrp Isopropyl Alcohol  https://ebay.to/3fGkj6l | https://amzn.to/3C88qgK Electrical wire terminals https://ebay.to/3y9ZWEE | https://amzn.to/3SVL2dq Aluminum foil https://amzn.to/3M2bW0U Epoxy clear resin https://ebay.to/3e0anDY | https://amzn.to/3EccW0w Clear cups https://ebay.to/3rtsYLP | https://amzn.to/3SE7kAG...
