I got two pumpkins this year and instead of carving, I thought I'd try a new technique- paint.
First, I cut out a bunch of shapes out of painter's tape and puzzle-pieced it all around my pumpkin.
Then, I painted it. All over. Rainbow colors.
I got a bit carried away, as shown by my white hand print.
Cool colors.
Warm colors.
My mini-pumpkin.
That became a candy apple! (It's a bit bigger than the actual ones.)
Next, I ripped the tape off.
I was disappointed because the tape had paint run under it.

It isn't true art unless you're covered in it!
My creation and I
All in all, this was a very interesting experience. I wish I had gotten photos of the pumpkin with just the painter's tape on it. It looked really rad! Next time, I'll know to use a different kind of painter's tape- one that doesn't run through. I will also stick to painting in darker colors because they show up a lot better than the warm colors like red and orange. Which makes sense, seeing as how pumpkins are orange. :D
It's the Great Pumpkin!

This year's State Fair was from October 13-23.
I got to go two days!
I entered art in as an individual student and I got a gold seal!
This is what my school entered by me last year:
It's a picture of my friend J.
Some other art that caught my eye:
I loved the use of color.
These were done by Elementary. Students.
There is so much going on her and I love it.
I love the use of collage and the theme: Olympics Around the World.
This is cool.
What?! What is in that window?
London is calling...
PINK FLAMINGOOO!
This is what inspired my candy apple pumpkin.
Oink oink~
Aww
Vikings and glitter.
Lots of Despicable Me gourds.
Big PUMPKINS!
All made out of bottles of water and cans of food.
The swings! This is my favorite ride! :D
Obligatory B&W
Ferris wheel!
Oooh. Those swings. I wanna go on them!
My friends, S & A
I want to ride it.
Pull.
I can show you the world ♪♫♪
My candy apple obsession shows. How did I find this stand?
NC State ice cream! Hell yes!
Woooo~
Garden section. I drew the Deathly Hollows symbol,
like the huge Harry Potter nerd I am.
Boo!
Ahh, I love lawn flamingos.
It's a Dalek scarecrow!
It's a painter's palate themed garden!
Alice in Wonderland inspired garden.
Swings!! Finally. My friend A and I. Watch where your hand is!
I'm not Mike Wazowski.
Look at his face. You can't see it. -.-
That's better.
Let's get down to business...
To eat the deep fried oreos!
Aren't we darling?
