Thursday Art Date with Rain -- "Pumpkin Patch"

Here's my contribution to today's art prompt at

Rain Frances Creations: Food, Art, Home and Garden --

I did this "line and wash" ink and watercolours sketch

of pumpkins and gourds a couple of weeks ago

for an art class I'm currently taking.

And here's my fave pumpkins from this year's

jack-o-lantern decoration contest 

done by tenants in my apartment tower

(slacker that I am, I didn't enter a pumpkin) --

A rather stressed-out Minion

A cute wee Pumpkin House,

complete with inhabitants and furniture.

Love the pie cooling on the windowsill!

An awesome carving of a

beloved family pet

Lookin' good, Frankie!

Here's my personal favourite

(and the contest's winner):

The Stanley Pumpkin! 

Its sign says:

OILERS 2025

Play La Bamba, Baby!

And as today is October 31st,

HRH the Cat and I want to wish all of you --

Miscellany of the Macabre

Here's a few fun DIY ideas!

Instructions for ghost tapers -- Soak candles in warm water (not boiling water) for 10 - 15 minutes and then carefully bend them under the water. Dry them and draw faces with a permanent marker or paint marker. Ready to display!

Halloween Butterflies

And Now . . . HRH

Spooky Greetings

 

to you all, my devoted

legion of loyal fans.

Yes, 'tis I,

Her Royal Highness the Cat,

the only bright spot & saving grace

of yet another dreadfully dull post

from my sullen, ragamuffin human.

Sweet Goddess Bast,

if I see any more

orange & black,

I'm gonna puke!

So let's end this with a bit more

glitter & pizzazz

shall we?

(On second thought, I'm gonna puke

on the carpet anyway, just because

it's fun to annoy my human.)

Trick or Treat, Bitchez!

I'm outta here!

Interview With WHO?

Dracula's busy these days trying to update his image

in order to lure a younger generation of victims . . . 

And, of course, other species now

want to get in on the act too . . . 

And a wooden stake through the heart?

How passé!

Everyone today is using

Vampire Slayer Pistols

with wooden bullets.

This calembour atroce is for YOU, Guillaume!

The Scariest, Most Terrifying Creature of ALL
