Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

There's some kind of fine irony from what kind of cherry news would come from a vulture! 

That is a good point. I'm sure there are things Vultures would find cheery; I rather not think about what they might be, but I'm sure there are some.

I just received a WONDERFULLY crafted Viking Knife from Comsquare in exchange for the Pumpkin Heads I sent him:




...the photos don't do it justice. I think I came out ahead on the deal.

Bang tidy painting!

What's next for the town? The knife makes me think you may need a barber shop.

[FramFramson]

Wow, nice damasking, Comsquare!

Thanks, von Lucky. I'm glad you like him.
Now that I got the knife I have an urge to do a few more of the Pumpkin Heads...its a carving craving...kind of.

Wow, nice damasking, Comsquare!

It really is a very nice effect...BRAVO, Comsquare!

Thanks Al, glad you like it
And thanks once more for those amazing Pumpkinheads.

Wow, nice damasking, Comsquare!

Thanks Fram

Thanks, airbornegrove. I can see that populating The Blight & some of my other boards is going to a really enjoyable task. I hope you continue to enjoy it as well!
I keep looking at the swirling damask effect. It's mesmerizing as well as beautiful.

Just as long it isn't talking to you.

I mean it sometimes pauses and lets you get a word in...

THAT'S A TOWN CRIER! 

I can almost hear him screech the hour!

LOVELY in a strange and fantastic way

...nothing about saving France or whatever yet, It's probably just a '60s flashback thingy,

I can almost hear him screech the hour!

LOVELY in a strange and fantastic way

Thanks, GS! I'm glad you like him.
I somehow don't imagine him having a melodious voice despite resembling the Skeksis Chamberlain. Andy Devine on steroids comes close.

While I'm fairly certain you can have too many Pumpkin Headed Horrors, I can never seem to make too many of the Seedy Guys. SO today I started on the next batch/patch/whatever. These are more typical of my work in that they are being done for no particular reason or person other than for the pure joy of it all.This mornings work:
...a Pistol Packing Pumpkin sans base. Without the base, you get a better idea what the true color is:

 
...the Pumpkin Pistoleer with  a possible base:

 

 

 

 

 
...Crossbow O'Lantern:

 

 

 

 
...the Gang at High Noon:

 
...AND later (about an hour later) the same day, a Swashbuckling Pumpkin Head:

 

 

 

 
...with the updated Gang:



 
...PLUS a Pumpkin Shaman waiting for his Green Stuff to dry:

 

 
...seen here with a possible base...or not:

 
...this could be FUN...well, for me at least.

Lay that pistol down, Gourd.
Lay that pistol down.
Pistol packin pumpkin
Lay that pistol down.
Oh, drinkin beer in goblin town
Was I havin fun!
Until one night he caught me right
And now I'm on the run.
Oh, lay that pistol down, Gourd.
Lay that pistol down.
Pistol packin pumpkin
Lay that pistol down.

[DeafNala]

Lay that pistol down, Gourd.
Lay that pistol down.
Pistol packin pumpkin

And now I'm on the run.
Oh, lay that pistol down, Gourd.
Lay that pistol down.
Pistol packin pumpkin
Lay that pistol down.

Thanks MUCHO, Fram! That's the first time my stuff rated a poem...I did have One Eyed Jacks playing through my head though.
