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". http://www.sthenno.com/images/fish_pumpkins.jpg http://www.sthenno.com/images/satinka_helping.jpg http://www.sthenno.com/images/pumpkin1.jpg http://www.sthenno.com/images/pumpkin2.jpg 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! [Posted in FML issue 5040]
