First pumpkin of the year

Hi all,

So Halloween, I love this time of year, Autumn is just setting in. The nights are darker quicker, the bitter taste of frost and wind whip across your face wherever you go and the sweet temptation to eat everything that is warm and tastes like gingerbread. This is the time of year when all the Christmas stuff is in the shops, calling to you to buy them, the lonely poor decorations yearning to be free and hung up for Christmas spirit. But don't be fooled it is not Christmas yet! They will have to stay in the shop won't they!

ENOUGH ABOUT CHRISTMAS! This is about Halloween. So I carved my first pumpkin last night. Many designs flew through my mind as I  cut open the top of its head and ripped out the poor things insides. But I couldn't settle on an idea. I like to give pumpkins faces so they can be my friends................Pretend you didn't read that............I don't make friends with my pumpkins.............oh dear dear pumpkin. (I haven't named him yet)

Anyway to the pumpkin shenanigans...I drew a lovely design of a castle and a face popping into shot, however the pumpkin was far too small for my epic design, It's a little pumpkin you see, and because pen doesn't rub off a pumpkins skin I merely turned over the pumpkin so no one could see my mistake :P.

Ok so, I started to carve my pumpkin, everything was going well. I carved the eyes, putting to my own eyes and shouting "They took my eyes!", and began the mouth shaped hole. However.....this is a big however however. (lol that wasn't a mistake, I meant 2 howevers there<<) I cut off the 'fangs'. SHIT. It's ok, I will make the mouth bigger......SHIT I did it again!! He now has one fang.....The pumpkin is always a man!

To get through this I wept a little. Then came up the genius idea to use a mechanical pencil lead to attach the missing fang.....I AM A GENIUS!!

The face is finished and looking FABULOUS! So I decide to two tone this mother. I create a moon like circle around his head, craters and all. Except it doesn't look like  moon......oh well xD

So you wanna this this glamorous pumpkin huh? I know you do because it is amaze balls. It is the most sophisticated, stylish and excited pumpkin you will ever see!!

Well here it is.....Get ready.....(even through you have probably already had a glimpse) BOOM!!

 TA DAH

AWWWW HE LOOKS SO HAPPY :D

I LOVE IT 

Let me know what y'all think :D Please with Christmas bells on ;)

Toodles for now xxx
