But as the title states, my carving attempt failed. It started with a rough kitty outline I drew. Please ignore the additional scribbling and tea stain. lol Anyway, I thought the enigmatic profile looked intriguing.

The moment I tried carrying my creation outdoors, its outlining tail section fell off. ~shakes head~ Reattachment with a toothpick failed, too. Oh, well. My wise fellow stated that I shouldn’t feel bad, having carved few pumpkins in my life. I may try growing them next year instead of cucumbers.
Aren’t painted jack-o-lanterns almost as fun, anyway? Is it not obvious the break was inevitable?

I like it. It's way better than I could do. You had fun and that's the best part.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. Hugs. ♥
You're very kind. And I did have fun. Plus we are still enjoying the roasted seeds. Blessings, my dear.
DeleteI was just going to suggest painting it. The last time I carved a pumpkin, my age was in the single digits. And I wasn't great at it then. But, I'm sure there's a way to do it. It's just a matter of planning and practice. It's better than I would have done, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to see a photo of you as a little girl. :) Thanks for the kind words.
DeleteIt is a pity. If you you try next year you'll give some more thought to where the tail will be.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's a good point.
DeleteYou could just skip the tail and say it's a manx cat!
ReplyDeleteOh, you totally made me giggle.
DeleteI think you did a great job. And I agree with Terry above about it being a manx cat. XO
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. :D
