🎃 Pumpkin Playtime (and a Spooktacular Discount!) 🎃
It's officially October, which means one thing: PUMPKINS! 🧡 I've been having a blast playing with these festive gourds, although I'm holding off on the carving for now...don't want any rotten surprises before Halloween actually arrives!
This Spooktober has been a whirlwind of creativity – I'm officially on a roll! But let's be real, I'm the worst at keeping up with these blog posts. Does anyone even read them? 🤔 (And don't even get me started on my marketing skills...this website could use a serious dose of something.)
But hey, for those of you who DO stop by, I appreciate you! And to show my gratitude, here's a little treat: use code PICKLES for 10% off your next order! 👻
Now, about this pumpkin...
This little beauty took me a good 3 hours to complete (spread out over two days because, you know, paint drying time 😴). I'm not usually a big painter – give me all the paint pens! – but I'm pretty darn proud of how it turned out.
What I used:
* One adorable pumpkin (obviously!)
* Acrylic paints in black, white, and orange
* Various brushes
* A whole lot of patience (Monsters and chocolate)
Tips for painting your own pumpkins:
* Clean your pumpkin: Give it a good wipe down to remove any dirt or debris.
* Prime it (optional): A coat of primer will help your paint adhere better.
* Use multiple thin coats: This will prevent drips and ensure a smooth finish.
* Let it dry completely between coats: Patience, young Padawan!
* Seal it (optional): A sealant will help protect your masterpiece from the elements. (I didn't seal it but AI suggests you to do so.
Happy October, everyone! Stay tuned for more spooky creation
