A House For Halloween

[Bob K.]

Well, it\'s October already and that means Halloween is almost here! Here are two Pumpkin Houses I just finished. They both light up with an electric tea light candle!
3\" x 3\" basswood, acrylic paints, boiled linseed oil/burnt umber antique.

Those are a great idea Bob. Funny;............I just ordered some battery powered tea lights today for another project, but now I just might have to try a couple of those as well........
Thanks for sharing

Sweet little punkin\'s Bob! How did you hollow them out for the candles? From the base?

Terry, I drilled a large hole (large enough to fit a tea light. I think it was 1 5/8\") with a forsner bit.
Thanks for the kind comments everyone!
