Painted Pumpkin

Dear Pumpkin,
Why do you have to be so tricky to carve? 
Your thick skin makes me not want to be friends.
I think I’ll paint you instead.
Love,
Laura Beth

I used the natural lines on the pumpkin as my guide.

First I used Martha’s Silver Gilding. This liquid wonder was part of the “Martha”load I received a few weeks ago. Genius.

Then I filled the opposite spots with basic white craft paint. It took a few layers.

A little twine on top & there you have it. A non-carved, painted pumpkin.

Is your talent pumpkin carving? I’m looking for tips.
