Not another Pumpkin Jack

This is not about Jack...
Originally this would of been a post about Jack Skellington.
The princess had plans of her own...
So no scary pumpkin this halloween
She drew her own sketch...
can you see who it is?

Its Sally from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.
She was always fascinated with the fact that she can "needle" herself together, as she likes to say.

The carving process is the best... taking out the gooey center to then have a frame to create with.
and seeds for roasting...
 the princess had the final approval of the sketch

the carving in progress
This was the final result.


Meanwhile the king drew out his plans for his mask...
this was all his creation, design and assembly...
he planned for it to be scary, of course
We wasted no time on it and started a paper mache frame
 We had some copper sheets in the shed that we used for the face
 We then added metal wire, some lenses from some old sunglasses, felt, and painted the outside black.
The king is super happy with it and cant wait to wear it with a homemade cloak ....in three days.

    1. Thanks Jan! Unfortunately Sally only lasted for a few days and then rotted. In the south the air is humid that we could not enjoy her for too long. It was fun though. We love creating with our hands and using materials around the house.
