What a miserable day today has been; nothing less than non-stop rain! Although I must admit, I do really enjoy listening to the sound of the rain falling on the conservatory roof. I could listen for hours!
Today was also the day our little puppy Doug lost his balls. Yep, he just had a bit of his manhood taken away, poor little thing. So as today was one of those waiting-days, where you’re just waiting for the call from the vets to pick up your dog, I didn’t fancy doing too much, so I decided on doing a bit of pumpkin carving.
I’ll admit to you now, this is not the best pumpkin you have ever seen. In fact, it’s not even half good. But I thought I would share it anyway, because why the hell not, things aren’t always perfect.
This little pumpkin is meant to resemble a zombie-mummy sort of thing. It looks better in the dark – yeah I know, that really says it all. Grant said it reminds him of ‘bloody face’ from American Horror Story, but i think he’s just being kind.
Anyway, this was the simplest pumpkin ever to create – mainly because the actual carving of the face doesn’t really matter as you won’t really see it.
To create this look, I simply used a bandage (obvious) wrapped around the pumpkin, secured by cello-tape, and finished off with a bit of red paint very roughly smeared across the front to resemble blood.
To state the obvious, be careful of using a bandage near an open flame!
Anyway – let me know what you think!
Happy carving!
