Punkin' Heads


Sunday night, our buddies Kate and Paul came over, and the four of us carved jack-o-lanterns. We scooped out the goo, we toasted pumpkin seeds, and we ate pumpkin cake Kate brought--all while kinda-sorta watching Bram Stoker's Dracula. Anyhow, we were proud of the results. Paul used a creative sideways design so that his pumpkin's stem became the jack-o-lantern's nose. I used the Pumpkin Master's pattern "zombie", though in the end, we agreed the face looked more like Che Guevara. Kate used the "skeleton" pattern, though finished the image more closely resembled Bender from Futurama. (Even better.) And Tommy used a skull motif of his own design (you're not surprised, are you?) Anyhow, the pumpkins are blazing away right now. Happy Halloween!

Awesome punkin heads! Yes, the skeleton does look like Bender! LOL! I think your zombie face looks like Michael Meyers or a member of Queen on the cover of that album where they're all looking up. I love Tommy's take on the traditional Jack, and Paul's reminds me of Mr. Roboto. I don't know where the '80s flashback is coming from, but I've decided to just go with it. :)

Happy Halloween!! (well, it's Wed. already -- Happy All Souls? Does anyone say that?)
