Our Georgia grands set to work embellishing pumpkins from a pumpkin patch foray earlier that crisp October Sunday afternoon during a visit from Husband Walter and me.
Granddaughter Charlie had a school assignment to decorate a pumpkin as a
literary character. She chose the fairy tale protagonist Puss in Boots.
Before visiting the pumpkin patch, Charlie had found a hat that struck her fancy. She equipped it with an animal print ribbon as a band and a feather leftover from previous
family projects.
She attached the feather with silver duct tape. I thought the duct tape was a clever touch and looked like a sizeable silver clasp perfect for the feline character’s attire.
I admit my enthusiasm for the duct tape clasp could actually have been the effect of a proud grandma’s predisposition for enthusiastic approval of the entire project.

Oh, Charlie did beautifully! And I see the detail and precise beauty in her painting, too! I had our girls use markers, but I think the paint looks better, it really makes the features pop!!
ReplyDeleteSweet photos of the Grands.
ReplyDeleteI love the little concentration tongue.
I sort of miss the little ones and all the pumpkin decorations.
Ha, Stella is just as serious decorating as she was picking the perfect pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteCharlie did a terrific job with hers. Very creative. Both boys are really into their craft.
