Okay before we get into the pumpkin overkill season - this is a traditional Irish Jack O’ Lantern, made from a turnip. Hallowe'en as a kid... turnip Jack O’ Lanterns. I made this in 2016... be prepared to bend a spoon

#BlueskyArtShow #Glow... Here's another traditional Jack O’ Lantern I made from a turnip in 2022... be prepared to bend a spoon. Irish and Scottish migrants took the Hallowe’en tradition with them to America and America, well Americanised it.

Teal blue was retired as a Crayola Crayon colour in 2003. It lasted a little over a decade. Not enough pizzaz, they said. #glacierwater #stonewall #reflection #canoeing #peace
