Pumpkin Witch
Date: High School, 2006-ish
Time: An hour or so
Materials: Pumpkin, knife
Description: A pumpkin that was not carved from the inside, but carved on the outside. Picture carved was a witch silhouette in front of a moon. Orange, yellow, Halloween, broomstick, witch riding on broom, flying.
Artist Comments: I never knew how to carve pumpkins and my mom wanted to make pumpkin pie with this so I didn’t get to try it this time. Instead, I just took off the outer skin of the pumpkin and let the yellow, inner-skin of the pumpkin show the contrast in colors, creating the picture.
As an experiment of this technique I made up, I used the typical Halloween picture of a witch flying on a broomstick across the moon, so you can see the shape of her.
