Cute!
ReplyDeleteI saw that pumpkin in person, it's pretty amazing.
Oh my gosh, I love the first picture.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pumpkin is AMAZING. Little Red is a superhero that way. She made one for me (out of wood, so it'll last) that says Miss Erin...I lurvs it.
Great costumes! I love Princess Rapunzel's tresses. And a four-armed Dracula, huh? I think I may have once dated a guy that fits that description.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the Rapunzel carving, Nate. I'm afraid the photo doesn't do the pumpkin justice. It's 18 inches tall. I'm looking forward to carving a Calamity Jack-o-lantern! (A silhouette would be helpful. And could you work a pumpkin into the story somewhere?)
Erin, I wish the Miss Erin pumpkin were made of wood. Unfortunately it is not quite so eco-friendly. It's a carve-able low–density polyurethane foam pumpkin. I rarely use the fake ones, but yours had to survive the long trip home.
So so cool. I love the pumpkin. :)
ReplyDeleteCheck--for you Laura, I will put a pumpkin in Calamity Jack. I'm working on the cover now, just sketches, it takes several rounds of sketches before the editor/publisher/marketing dept. choose one they like.
ReplyDeleteThe current one has a Charlie's Angels style silhouette of Jack, Rapunzel and {unannounced new character} that would make a great pumpkin.
The two kids are my kids. I have no idea where the idea for four armed Dracula came from. He wore the extra arms for a day or two.
Verrry creative children you have, Nate. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! That dracula is as creepy as Rapunzel is cute. That doesn't even look like Uly. Sheesh. I was Rapunzel this year too but I didn't look half as cute as Lucy.
ReplyDeleteDidn't we script Jack and Rap hitching a ride on a pumpkin merchant's wagon at some point?
Shannon, the pumpkin cart got turned into the "Odorless Excavator" truck, which can actually be seen in an older post (one page back, the color mapping preview--it's the big barrel being pulled by My Little Ponies.) I found an old photo of an 1800s sewage wagon--I couldn't pass it up, I had to use it. I'll get that pumpkin in the book though, don't worry Laura.
