Jack O’ Lantern for October 17, 2010

OK, I’m cheating. I didn’t make this one, and neither did Ripley, but it’s just so cool it had to be today’s Jack. It’s a huge piece of rusty iron, about 2 feet tall and heavy as hell. We found it today at a local curios shop – Alex spotted it and pointed it out with a “that is so YOU.” And so now it’s on the front porch.

Jack O’ Lantern for October 15, 2010

Ripley & I found these little vinyl figure kits at a local craft store – they start out as blank white forms that you color with sharpies and add little stickers to and whatnot. We only used what came in the box. I bought 5 more and plan to actually paint them with acrylics, in much more detail, and with much more creativity…
