There was nothing on at the cinema this evening
Even the usually interesting Theatre Clwyd Cinema Is showing some depressing
documentary on the Conflict in the Middle East
So what am I doing when the gales gust over 70 miles an hour around the cottage?
Yes
I carved my first Walking Dead Halloween pumpkin
I thought the bloody guts in the mouth a particularly artistic touch
I am such a sad sack
VERY nice!
ReplyDeleteNot quite the reaction nat!
DeleteI wanted fear, repulsion, horror
Not nice! X
You are an artiste! Bet pomegranate 'innards' would make good blood and guts as well.
ReplyDeleteAh..another artiste's advice
DeleteLovely John. I love them. I might even do one myself. x
ReplyDeleteIt's a tradition in this cottafe
DeleteCottage even
Deletecottage, cottafe, who cares.
Deletebwhahahahaha! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeletePerfectly deep set and ghoulish eyes. You eviscerated it through the mouth. Realistic touches.
ReplyDeleteHigh praise joanne x
DeleteI love it! It takes an artist to get the overall effect with so little to work with.
ReplyDeleteThanks jennyo
DeleteFinal touch would be the knife left sticking in the 'head'
ReplyDeletePretty happy looking for a dead pumpkin lol.
ReplyDeleteWhoops
DeleteYour pumpkin looks as though he saw a zombie and is yelling out in fear. Well, that's my take on it anyway. Maybe Albert will sit by it or claw at it, which will lend some realism.
ReplyDeleteMegan...on reflection he looks rather too happy
DeleteIs he a cross-eyed zombie? We went to see Boxtrolls...lovely kids animated film!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should have gone to see that...I just read the review..it looks good
DeleteAm I the only person in blogland who has never seen The Walking Dead ? as such I have to carve pumpkins purely from imagination. Which means they are nowhere near as scary as yours.
ReplyDeleteFrugal, you are not alone - I've never seen The Walking Dead either.
DeleteJohn, a purple knife and kettle grill? Fancy, fancy... you're quite handy with that knife, too!
Victoria..there is no end to my skills
DeleteI haven't seen The Walking Dead either, more of an N.C.I.S. watcher.Will not be carving a pumpkin this year, going to see the grandsons across country and they will have every thing ready by the time we arrive.
DeleteCan make some nice pumpkin scones with it when halloween is finished or bake it in oven with a nice roast dinner
ReplyDeleteI usually put it out for the hens who peck the fuck out of it
DeleteWell, that should make sure the trick or treaters stay away!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't do them
DeleteIt doesn't look a thing like Norman Reedus.
ReplyDeleteI'd be kissing it if it did
DeleteGreat job. Is trick or treating a thing in tiny Welsh villages? I thought it was a mostly American tradition, and that you lot mostly drink the night away.
ReplyDeleteThat's in response to Simone's comment above.
DeleteAlison
DeleteIt's becomming more popular over here
Trick and treating
But in 6 years we've only had two little girls here with their mum and 3 ghost masks
Better be careful John as that could attract every Zombie in the village and surrounding are!!!
ReplyDeleteBut that would be want you wanted, right?!
Jimbo
DeleteAt least I would know what to do!
Come the zombie apocolypse I would be king
Even though there would be no scotch eggs
We can always hope for a Daryl to save us all. Thank you for convincing me to watch the Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteFantastic job.
Hmy job here is done
DeleteNice jack-o-lantern! I can't believe you have a purple grill with a green handle! What kind is it and where did you find it? It looks like a Weber. My BFF has painted her house purple with a little green trim around the windows. I know it sounds awful, but it really isn't too bad. Mind you she lives in a picturesque village by the sea! I know the neighbors are pissed off. LOL! Would love to find that grill for her for Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are not a sad sack. That's one great pumpkin, buddy.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I don't do Halloween here in Australia, its never been big! Although now its catching on with the young ones! But I do love your Pumkin! But I wanted to comment on your lovely lavender BBQ!never seen one that colour! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePs.......I mean Pumpkin!
DeleteOur younger son is the artist, he carved some amazing pumpkins. To get away from the pressure of producing a good carved pumpkin we have run away from home!
ReplyDeleteTWD is recording each week for when the boys come home next month, although I think they have seen it. Artist son thought the season premiere had an unimaginative story line. Science son thought it was brilliant. I wonder that they can find shows that they both want to watch.
Too cheerful to be a zombie. ;-)
ReplyDeletePretty......Extra pretty!!
ReplyDeleteIs there no end to your talents, John?
ReplyDeleteHi I've just started watching The Walking Dead via LoveFilm, 4 episodes one after the other, so now I know what you and everyone else are talking about!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great pumpkin! (Apologies to Charles Schulz.)
ReplyDeleteSteve Reed took the words right out of my mouth!
ReplyDeleteI hope you ate the inners ..... am I the only one that sees this huge mass of pumpkins available at the supermarkets purely to be turned into lanterns as a waste?
ReplyDeleteBingley ate the lot which did him the world of good
DeleteTo be honest these pumpkins have very little,meat at all
