The Great Pumpkin (or at least my version of one) rises from the petrified pumpkin patch, with a day to spare

I guess I sort of cheated, but it is all wire, with just a wee bit of solder thrown in.

It was copper solder, after all, and I certainly got to practice my solder control,

as copper solder only comes in one temp. HOT. And 18 gauge wires melt fast !

Maybe next year (did I actually just say that !!) I need to try for a curved stem.

Thanks for the suggestion Gary, opalpyrexia.

We're all waiting to see your real pumpkin art !

Thanks for looking,

Patty

Very cool! He's adorable. I can see a lot of work and planning went into this. That soldering was a trick!

Thanks Gary, WELL, I don't know about perfect or anything - but it was fun to figure out.

And only took me 2 tries to get that mouth & nose right !

I love it too. Thank you It was interesting to do a hybrid wrap (soldering & wire wrapping). Has me thinking of other possibilities. Patty
