Pumpkin Contest

Carving/painting pumpkins is one of my favorite things at Halloween time. I love the squishiness of carving pumpkins and I love using my creative side painting them. Every year my work, which also happens to be John's work, has a pumpkin contest. Only painted pumpkins because the carved ones go bad fast. Well we all bring in our pumpkins one week before Halloween so the customers and other employees can see them and vote which one is the best. The winner of course gets a prize! The last year I did one, I did a clown with a wig and nose! It was awesome! I so thought I was going to win but... I didn't.. But this year one of us is totally going to win! haha John will probably win for the most original! He is so artistic it amazes me sometimes. Well this year I made a girly mummy with fake eye lashes! John did a Tootsie Pop sucker! We're both perfectionists so it took us two days to complete them, but I think they turned out great!

John putting another coat on his pumpkin. I think he did like 15 coats.. Seriously!

I gave John the idea of speeding up the process. On top of being perfectionists we are both very impatient. Me more then him...

See I told you he's very artistic! I definitely wouldn't have the patience to paint something so detailed.

Sorry the picture is a little blurry I took it with my phone.. I love how he even included the registered trademark on there. You know the little R in the circle...

Didn't he do a great job!? I think so!

Here's the start of my scary mummy...

I think I did a pretty good job on the little details especially because I'm not at all artistic. The eye lashes added just the right touch to make my little mummy super girly and cute!

I think the bow makes it look a little like a cheer leader mummy! haha Cute right?!

I think we did a great job.. We're so going to win! ha
