Sycamore67 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I cut a couple of Ghosts for Halloween using a pattern from Shelia Landry. The pattern included a couple of ghost patterns and pumpkin patterns. I used one of the pumpkin patterns to make a base for the ghost to stand up. The ghost and pumpkins were painted with acrylic paints and then with a spray can of lacquer. I couple of the ghosts were painted with some glow in the dark paint and work pretty well. bobscroll, Lucky2, amazingkevin and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that type work would fancy up the ribs of the pumpkin too if you wanted .The white you used was dreamy good like pearlesant white,cloudy white!Good thinking!

Sycamore67 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thank you for the comments. The pattern was from Sheila Landry and contained suggestions for painting. Her plans are well worth the price. It was my first time with acrylic paints and it worked well and not too expensive. I did the carving with t h a double cut carbide bit in my Dremel and then sanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepy Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Nice idea and execution. You might also make either the ghosts larger and the pumpkins smaller and glue the pumpkin to the front of the ghost. The double thickness would allow them to stand.
