Painting Pumpkins Black

Post by Dutchess of Darkness » Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:41 am

Well as most people know, black is my Favourite colour. So this year I decided to try painting my pumpkins black. They turned out pretty cool and my Lovely Baby Boy Draven, my Familiar has approved of them as well, so here are a couple of pics of what they look like after they were dry. Tonight Hubby and I each carved one so I will have to load those pictures as well, but here are the "before Carving" pictures, enjoy! :twisted:

:mrgreen: Those are nifty did you paint real pumpkins or are they the craft ones?
Do you wanna know why i use a knife? Guns are too quick.

Hey everyone, these are real pumpkins spray painted black. We sprayed them yesterday and then let them dry outside overnight and then brought them inside today to warm up so that they would be easlier to carve tonight. We have them carved and they turned out great, I'm very pleased with them. I've taken a ton of pictures and will get them posted either tonight or tomorrow hopefully. Thanks a million for the compliments :)

Hey scorpio, my cat's name "my true familiar " is Draven Serenity" and thats also really him in my signiture same with the candlabra and curtains, plus a picture of a couch I've always wanted and one of my favourite Victoria Francis Pictures. I don't know how a friend of mine did it, but I just sent him a picture of draven and pictures of other things I really love and he put it all together into what you see there, but that really is Draven and one of my Candleabras and curtains, he can really do amazing things can't he.

Growing up, we use to paint our pumpkins black! They look much better with lights in them.

Here's a picture of Edward, my hubby bought him for me for my birthday to keep me company when he's away at work. ~~Sniffle Sniffle~ he leaves tonight at 3:15am to go back u to work, and they now have over 3 feet of snow up at the mine where he works. Wish he was here for Halloween.

No problem. Draven is a nice name, I haven't heard it before.

Hey sweetie!

Where did you get this idea of painting black pumpkins?? I think I want to do the same thing just like you do! :D And also, are you part of Gothic or what? A Witch? What are your particually? What is your naturally? Just curious. And also, what kind of horror/cult films do you love to see again? I might share my thoughts with you anytime. ;)
