Jack-O-Brutus

Somehow, we ended up with six pumpkins this year, the result two pumpkin patch outings. So I decided to try something new with the carving this year. I came across a little battery-powered Dremel tool that I bought last year but never used. I downloaded a Brutus template from the web and went to work. It took an hour or so from top to bottom, including “help” from Momo and Coco. Once it was done, I found that a tealight candle wasn’t enough to illuminate the image, so I stuck a light bulb in the back. That worked better, but now the whole pumpking glows!
