In keeping with my yearly tradition for Halloween, I carved one of my pumpkins into a fairy house. I endeavored to make this one very cozy. After all, it’s important to give those roving faeries a place to stop, kick up their shoes and have a cup of hot mulled wine. They have a lot of hard work to do making mischief!
I chose this pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch for the misshapen top with a stem hanging down over the side. I found some colorful blackberry leaves that I fastened above it with a sewing straight pin, and some nice fat acorns that I set into the middle of little stars carved around it.
I had fun with those carving chisels again too. The little stars and swirls glow ever so faintly with candle light shining through.
Happy mischief making!
These are SO cool!!!! What a great idea!!! We'll be carving some today and this will be on the list!
