Thanksgiving Cornucopia #2

So once i took the aluminum foil and plastic out of the middle the edge of the cornucopia was very thin. I did want to put on layer after layer to make it thicker but i wanted it to look more basket or bread looking. I took more newspaper and rolled it into a thin roll, wet it and morphed it to the shape of the edge of the cornucopia. I then took strips of newspaper and used my flour paste and basically taped the rolled newspaper to the edge of the cornucopia. This is what it looked like when i was done. See that the edge look thicker now? The illusion that the whole thing is thicker. Just what i wanted!

Here is a picture of where i stopped at right now. The inside is covered but the edges and the outside is 1/2 finished. I'm letting it dry and giving myself a rest before i finish it.

There are the finished fruit. Although my artsy Hubby said i should somehow with fabric add tops to the strawberries. (we will see if i get to that!) The Orange and banana had to be covered twice because the material was thin and you still could see some of the newspaper color coming through. I'm glad i got them all done!

I'm cutting it close to Thanksgiving! I hope to have it all done tonight (crossing my fingers). Tomorrow starts the cooking :)
