| Carved pumpkin 10-28-14 |
I missed out on family pumpkin carving Saturday because I was getting a tattoo.
What kind of mother does that make me?
Anyway, the kids saved one of the pumpkins for me, so I carved mine last night.
This year I went a little non-traditional with my Jack-O-Lantern and instead of just cutting out triangular openings, I scraped off the skin and then carved away the flesh using my clay sculpting tools.
That sounds so violent.
I didn't map out the face first or anything. I just kind free-balled and made it up as I went along.
It was my first time trying this technique. I don't think I did too bad for a rookie.
Anyway, this is it.
