We’re doing the pumpkin decorating contest at work again this year. And since there seems to be some stupid rule against sharing pictures, I was afraid to try sending a link to the picture of my entry in the contest. But, then I thought if I use the picture as my avatar, you can see it. So this will be my avatar for October.
No, this is not my own original design. I googled “no carve pumpkin decorating ideas” (I love google and I use it a lot). It showed something like this. The kit costs $13. I don’t know if it includes the black paint. Well, I’m not paying any $13 for a few pieces of stick on foam! So, I bought sheets of stick on foam for under $6 (and there’s a lot left for future projects).This design looked simple enough that I could make my own ears, eyes, wings, and mouth. I think it turned out pretty good! I named my entry “Bat Cat” because it’s sort of a combination of a bat and a cat.
Instead of paint, I used a cheap piece of black fabric (on sale for $1.50 a yard and I used about half a yard). That way, when the contest is over, I can take off the fabric and still have a pumpkin that can be used for pie or to give to the squirrels or whatever I choose to do with it.
Voting ends October 31. I’ll let you know how I do.
