Certain parts turned out to be a little more challenging than I expected, and I wasn't really crazy about how some of the eyes turned out. Eyes are hard!
I used paint, felt, crafting foam, and hot glue. I don't have much of a step-by-step for these because I just used pictures I found online for inspiration. The rest I sort of free-styled.
I think I like the carved pumpkins I've done over the last few years better than my painted project for this year. But out of the four from this year, my favorite is the mini-bat pumpkin.
Just too damn cute. The hubby thinks it looks like Toothless from the movie How to Train Your Dragon. I can see it! So, along with the bat, as I mentioned already, I painted a Dracula...
And a mummy...
And a Frankenstein...

My favorite part of Frankenstein is the bolts in the side of his "neck." In this case we're working under the assumption that pumpkins do in fact have necks. I can't help making the MREEEEEHH Frankenstein moan in my head whenever I look at him.
So, here are all of my monster pumpkins out on our table in the front.
These were fun to do, but like I said earlier, I think I'll go back to carving next year. They're cute, but I think last year's zombies and the year before's vampires came out better. 19 more days till Halloween!
Ta-ta for now.
