thorough list of tools and a full-color photograph of the end result.
Using little more than a razor knife, butter knife, drill bit and spoon,
you can adorn your front stoop with masterpieces like the Pumpkin
"King," an Elvis Presley circa Jailhouse Rock pumpkin, opposing teams of
pumpkin-helmeted pumpkin-head football players and a pumpkin Mona Lisa.
Or you may prefer to tackle less daunting designs, like those for
witches, spiders and black cats. This book is not for young children,
but will appeal to those whose inner child-or deMonday to comes out on
Halloween. Photos. |
