Anyway, I'm pretty obsessed with Doctor Who, so I decided that I wanted to make a Who-themed pumpkin for Halloween. But what to make? I saw some TARDIS templates online, but I like making faces on pumpkins. That's when I realized that there's nothing scarier than a Weeping Angel. I don't know why, but they creep me out more than any other Who monster. They're terrifying. I found a couple of templates, but I didn't think I had quite enough pumpkin carving talent to pull them off. Plus, my printer was out of ink. I decided to free-hand a template of my own. This was a major accomplishment for someone like me who never quite progressed beyond the ability to draw stick figures. This is what it looked like:
Then I taped it to my hollowed out pumpkin and traced it with a poking stick (I'm assuming this has a technical name, but I have no idea what it is.) so that I could carve along the dotted lines.
This was the final result. It's pretty scary if I do say so myself. DON'T BLINK!
Oh, and since I'm such a huge nerd, I decided that it would be fun to dress up as the Tenth Doctor. A perfectly timed gust of wind helped my hair live up to Ten's awesomeness in this picture.
Don't even blink. No seriously, don't do it.
