Making progress

The great pumpkin project is coming along nicely.  Although, it looks wider at the top than at the bottom which is not the case in real life.  I suppose I should stoop down to its level before taking a photo, but that's not so easy when you've got EK (elderly knees).

 

 

I've finished applying paper strips and am now ready to cover the whole thing with a thin layer of pulp.  I should probably throw out the plastic container of flour-water-glue that's in the fridge so Mr. Gadget doesn't mistake it for his special Coffeemate and add it to his tea.  That would probably put a stop to my regular deliveries of liquor-store-size brown paper bags.

One of the witches is coming along nicely too.

She needs some hair and a few witchy accessories.  I feel sufficiently satisfied with her that I'm willing to tell you she's my own design.  I've decided to stop with that firth and twoth business. I went off on a silly tangent, and this blog is set up so that if there's an over-abundance of silliness all sorts of alarms go off.  Let me tell you, it was a piercing shriek.  I'm going to tell Mr. Gadget not to buy any more batteries.
