For Halloween, I made a Mermaid Pumpkin. (!)
I also asserted my title as the world’s worst photographer.
Evidence forthwith:
and glamorously unlit
How awesome is that?!?!
I wanted originally to just make a scary crone face, in honour of the Samhain Crone, but I had a blank canvas/pumpkin and it NEEDED to be filled with a mermaid. She’s called Atargatis.
Sadly, pumpkins go mouldy and die really quickly, but I loved my Atargatis Pumpkin so much I want to see if I can nick some of Superman’s clay to make a permanant mermaid lantern. Woohoo!
That is so very, very cool. In Germany, there is a tradition of making turnip lanterns, but I haven’t done that in ages. 🙁
