tonight Satinka "helped" carve the pumpkin.  i painted 2 pumpkins with
my fish Nebbie and Amy and the carved pumpkin is Satinka's head, from a
photo i took of her.  i made this pattern myself.  it is pretty simple,
i dont have the patience for those ridiculously hard patterns.  and the
only carving kit we could find was a childrens kit.  feh.  you cant get
good detailing with knives that crappy.  hehe.  if youd like a pattern,
please email me.  You can use it for free if you dont sell anything made
with it.  it would be a great pattern for kids, it is not hard at all.
You just need to trace it for them using a small punch and have them
"connect the dots".

last year i made a Betta fish pattern (I have 2 bettas) and it was a
hit on the betta fish board.  I just hope it makes ya smile!  pumpkins
are fun!
