pumpkin party

last week a few of us got together for a yummy fall meal

and some pumpkin decorating & carving

for mine i used some great martha stewart paint colors:

black beetle, cloud, yellow gold, and gold & silver liquid gilding

a few furniture tacks

plus a little sponge painting 

and...voila!

unique pumpkins that will last until well after halloween.
