While out and about today, I picked up a warty looking pumpkin to decorate.
Intrigued by the look of it, I learned it to be a Knucklehead Pumpkin, part of "a specialty line known as Superfreak which was developed by Siegers Seed Co. in Holland, Michigan, intentionally bred for their warty skin".
The plan was, using a decorating kit, to turn it into a mummy.
I didn’t realize the kit required carving the guts from the pumpkin.
I don’t carve, so I painted instead and, with the warts making it difficult to do so, the pumpkin came out looking more like a sick pissed off hospital patient, rather than a mummy, but I like the way it came out.
I think it’s going to scare the crap out of Next-Door Neighbor when she next opens her door.
I'll be listening for her scream, followed by a knock on the door.
The mummy pumpkin is hilarioius!
ReplyDeleteI hope Next-Door Neighbor goes with "hilarious", LOL.
Delete"a sick pissed off hospital patient" Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteIt's how I look every time I think about how my medical provider has let me down 🙄
DeleteYour warty Mummy pumpkin is great! How clever of you!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've ever seen a warty pumpkin. The diseased look of the skin is a decoration in itself.
DeleteThat pumpkin does look pissed off, but in a fun way.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Next Door Neighbor's reaction when she opens her door, steps outside.
DeleteLove it. It’s perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It rained last night and the paint is still in tact.
DeleteIt's perfect! I never carve a pumpkin because they rot too fast.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know how to carve a pumpkin, but craft paint works just as well.
DeleteI love the way it came out. Every time I carve a pumpkin I swear it just looks so wrong it looks like a 5-year-old did it. I will leave the pumpkin carving to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine carving a pumpkin to be easy or fun. I'd rather paint.
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteProbably make an interesting baked good, if I could bake.
DeleteLove your Angry Pumpkin Creation... and I like the Heirloom Varieties of Pumpkins too, but, they are notoriously impossible to Carve so I'm glad you didn't try to. We've tried to and Wow, what an Ordeal. These Pumpkins last as long as Gourds tho', our last one from Halloween 2022 lased 'til the end of August!!! Princess T so far hasn't asked for a Pumpkin to Carve yet. Even the Dollar Stores this Year are charging more than a Buck for them, the price of Pumpkins this Year seems much higher than normal.
ReplyDeleteI'd actually heard pumpkins were going to be hard to find this year. Haven't noticed a shortage, but that propaganda gave the sellers a good excuse for raising the price.
DeletePS: I'm thinking your Pumpkin with his Bubbly Warts looks like a Burn Victim...
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'd not thought of that but now that you say it, I can't unsee it as a pissed off burn victim.
DeleteHolland Michigan isn't far from where I live! Can't believe their pumpkins made it that far west. Pumpkin mummy is cute, not scary.
ReplyDeleteGot it from Sprouts Farmer's Market. Guess they have specialty items shipped in from all over.
DeleteI work in a doctors surgery - your pumpkin would be perfect to display 😉
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO! But, if the patients don't have a sense of humor, It might scare them away from trusting the doc to operate on them.
DeleteHe does look sick and pissed off, and I love it!
ReplyDelete👍😄
DeleteMr. Warty Pumpkin needs a dermatologist. I can't even stand to pick those warty ones up. Creeps my hand and brain. But he is cute. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely acne prone 😄
DeleteTundra Bunny here...
ReplyDeleteYour angry patient pumpkin is great! Did you make the arms too, and if so, how?
The arms came with the kit and will be saved to use next year.
