Happy Halloween - Really Want To Carve A Pumpkin Next Year ...

I have not carved a pumpkin for Halloween in several years--mostly this is because every time I look at the price of pumpkins my inner miser overpowers my holiday spirit. Yes, that is one scrappy little inner miser.

This year I at least thought about and half-intended to buy and carve a pumpkin--then I just sort of ran out of time. But I was thinking of a lizard design, since there are so many lizards all over the place here.

I found these images that are not what I was picturing, but are pretty cool, nonetheless. (I'm afraid I didn't see anything that really helped me figure out how to do what I had in mind ...)

 

The one below doesn't even look like a pumpkin--must have been one of those misshapen kinds that I'm sure the best artists just love to find.

 

The one below, I don't even know why it came up in my search, but it's pretty darn cool. And how could Starry Night not be on any person's favorite paintings list?

 

Next time I will carve my own, though perhaps not quite this elaborate ...

... Happy Halloween ...
