Okay, what do you think? I thought I was going to put a handle on this pumpkin, but when I finished painting him yesterday and put him on a base to dry, I said, "Do I really need to put a handle on him?" So my husband responded with, "No, he needs a lid." What?!!!! That wasn't an option I offered so where did that come from? After looking at it, I thought it would be cool with a lid that had a curled stem handle to lift off. So what do you think?
Poor little "Otto" is confused now!
The next post I do will be my 200th post....it will happen this week so keep an eye on my blog to enter the giveaway!!
Have a great day...and help me out with Otto if you would!

I vote for the hat... I just hate when husbands are right... darn it...
Otto is absolutely delightful and seems pretty confident with his charming looks. I think he would look great either way. I can picture a lid with a curly stem too :)
Hi Lady Laurie!
Otto DOES need a lid. He would stand out from all the other artists' current "handle" candy containers! Your husband has a good eye!
Thanks again for your continued support of my art, it means SO much to me...kind of gives me the courage to carry on...if you know what I mean?
"Coco" will go out in tomorrow's mail and hope you will enjoy her!!!
XOXO

I do LOVE the lid idea! You never know what brilliant ideas the hubbies will come up with :)!!
A hat lid would be fun, but a normal pumpkin lid with twisted vines would look great too.
But, i also reckon he looks fab without anything and think he's just wonderful.

I agree with your husband And Chris. And also with PJ's talking. Dang it when those husbansd are right@!! Otto is awesome by the way.
Go for the hat!
Gotta vote for the lid. Handles always get bent or broken. And I agree with the others who said lids add more personality although he's certainly full of personality right now!
Debbie
awesome, a lid for sure!!
Love the hat/lid idea! He's a handsome fellow. - Kris
I'm voting for the hat/lid, too! He is absolutely adorable and funny as heck - so he'll look fabulous no matter what. :)
Laurie....
I agree with Chris....maybe a Hat...I am confident it will be perfect...Otto is awesome.

Put a lid on it..hehe! I'm imagining all the goodies you could hide in there....hhhmmmm. Yep! Definitely a lid. He's a beauty!
Put a lid on it! Oh LOL! Thumbs up for that!
Laurie..Love him! Yes a lid with a curly hat! And then you can give your husband all the credit for such a wonderful idea! (: ~Kathy
Yikes!!!! I guess Otto is getting a "lid"!! Thank you all, guess I just needed a little nudge and you are certainly the group to get me to do it!! I have to admit, that husband of mine is really tuned into what I'm doing, and many of my notes and sketches are from, "what if you did this," comments. Got to love him, he is the Halloween man that dressed as a pumpkin-head scarecrow and scared the adults that sent their children up the sidewalk to the house to Trick or Treat(he looked like he was just a stuffed figure at the edge of the driveway, being very still and would reach out and touch them).
Thank you for taking the time to help me with this!
Laurie
What do I think? I think he wants to come live with me...........*snicker* A lid for sure. Your pumpkins make me swoon Laurie...hehehe!
Hugs, *Lori
p.s. I started paper mache again yesterday but it's raining again today.....CRAP!
I'm keeping my eye on your blog for that chance to win one of your fantastic pieces!
I agree with the majority....lid with a stem would be just the perfect finish!
I must confess I vote for the lid. He is looking fantastic and I think that would just top him off.
Jody
Thanks Nana...he could come live with you, but he won't be done NOW for awhile!! HA!
Marie he is getting the lid...the group has spoken!
Thanks for stopping by Jody!!
Wow, I must say I thought there would be some votes for the handle, but you guys seemed to strongly agree it needs a lid!
Thanks again!
Me!
Go with the lid, I love that idea!
Btw, I'm amazed by the detail in Otto's eye. Amazing.
Congrats you won a prize in my give-away!Send me your address and I will ship it out in the next few days. Robert
I agree - a lid or "Hat" with a stem would be a great touch.

Since I love to put hats on everything except my own head, I'd say he needs a chapeau of distinction! He's such a unique guy, he needs a unique hat!
He's wonderful!
