Gezabel Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Just thought I would try something different instead of the usual eyes/nose /mouth! Quote
Cait Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 For those of you who like a pattern to work from look here I have to say they're not a patch on yours though!! Quote
Panders Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Geraldine, that looks fabulous - I'm just about to face paint my 18 year old - he is going to be a zombie Freddie Mercury!! Quote
Gezabel Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 For those of you who like a pattern to work from look here I have to say they're not a patch on yours though!! That's exactly where I got the template from if you scroll down think it is just called 'cat pattern template' I messed up a bit as there should be a 'hole' at the top of his tail and the uncut part is the side of the tail - but the knife slipped so I had to leave a 'secure' bit at the top. It was great fun! quite therapeutic in a funny kind of way. Wish I had bought more than one pumpkin!!! Quote

HappyMaz Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Brilliant! In fact I'd say it's a kind of magic! Quote

Panders Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Its great Geraldine! It's taken me 18 years to get mine to dress up - even at nursery he was one of those that was never keen, might just about wear a tabard, but certainly not 'proper dressing up'. Quote

JacquieL Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Geraldine that is fantastic but look at the shape at the right side of the cat, as it is a witches face!!! Was that intentional as it is really clever. Quote
Cait Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 ooh yes! well spotted! That's better than the original too Quote
Gezabel Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 Geraldine that is fantastic but look at the shape at the right side of the cat, as it is a witches face!!! Was that intentional as it is really clever. I would love to say yes of course it was intentional but the truth is it wasn't at all it really is fluke. I couldn't see the witches face to start with and then hubby looked and saw it straight away. I tried my hardest to follow the template but didn't quite manage it that's all! I have attached the template I used, the grey areas were cut out - can you see a witches face there??? cat_template.doc Quote
JacquieL Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 No more like a bear but yours has a witch which is easy to spot. Brilliant! Quote
Guest MaryEMac Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 My daughter carved a witch on a broomstick which looked quite good, but last year she did a ghost which was brilliant. So much more interesting than a scary face. Mary Quote
