Here's what the ribs looked like when I was done pressing and shaping them onto the base.
Once the ribs were dry, I painted grey stripes into the valley areas of each rib. Then I followed behind the stripe with some stain to shade and blend the lines a little bit.
Next, I painted a Jack 'O Lantern face onto my pumpkin using black paint, and then added more shading with the stain. While that paint was drying, I made a crepe paper collar and glued that to the top of my candle stick. Then I turned the stick upside down to help hold the collar into place while the glue dried.
Here is the finished piece!!

When can we post what we made...and does it have to be a Jacko or Pumpkin...Or just Zhalloween inspired? Thanks for sharing, great blog !
Sandra, if you'd like to be part of the link up, wait until the 5th of October, and we'll have a post for you to share. If you just want to share what you've been inspired to make, share it ANY time! And no. It does not have to be a Jack 'O Lantern. Anything Halloween inspired for the October 5th Link up, and ANYTHING on any other day. :)
