Halloween

2004

thumbnail Halloween 2004.  I made the Bert and Ernie pumpkins from the pumpkins we grew in Noelle's garden.  Noelle bought her pumpkin from a local farmer and carved a horse from a pattern she found on-line.
thumbnail The candles aren't producing much light and the walls are thick.
thumbnail The "hair" is from dalia flowers that I borrowed from our next door neighbor's plants; he is now in Michigan for several weeks and won't miss them.  The flowers have a "spikey" appearance, and the ones on Bert were pink, so I spray painted them black.  The spray paint ran out, so for the ones on Ernie I left the natural dark maroon color.  The noses are tomatoes.
thumbnail Noelle carved this one last week at Microsoft in a morale party for which she had to supply 17 cleaned pumpkins.  I helped her clean them.
thumbnail I put this scary haunted candy house together.  Orange frosting acts as the glue.  Noelle bought it for some reason.
