Happy Halloween!

Over the past few days I've been working on a Jack-o-lantern puppet. I got a foam puppet from the craft store and designed a face....



Here's the first sketch.


Sketch transferred to pumpkin.


Tools used to transfer and carve.


Carved pumpkin.... oooo scary.


Lit carved pumpkin... spooky dooky!
