"Why so serious?" asked my bus driver this morning. I just laughed.

I present to you, the Pumpkin of Rassilon!


Also, the importance of shoes to a costume cannot be overstated. Every time I look down today, this is what I see:


Black wingtips at the ends of cartoonishly purple legs with an emerald tie. Every time I look down, it makes me want to cackle and rob banks.

I was up until midnight. I should be groggy today, but I'm high on greasepaint.

Amazing! And you should post (or let me post) the pumpkin to [livejournal.com profile] crafty_tardis, they would love it :)

Feel free. (Do you just link to my post, or what?)

For anyone who'd like to reproduce this, *all* I did was print out one of the standard images, about 500 by 500 px (took up most of the width of a piece of paper) and started using the little poky tool from my carving set to line out the shapes. So it wouldn't fall apart, I used the hole puncher tool (which is also the poky tool) for the main figure-8 part and the outside rim.

I'll probably make a separate post. Do you mind if I hotlink?

Cool! Please put my LJ name on? (Hi, have you met my ego?)

Nicely done! Can't wait to see the rest of the ensemble.

Gorgeous pumpkin! What, no picture of your complete ensemble? You tease!

Do I know those shoes?
They are da sexy...

You do not know those shoes! Those shoes were three dollars at a Goodwill a couple weeks ago. Black wingtips, my size. I offer my gratitude to the Shopping Gods.

I'm delighted that you like them, though.

I think they are indeed hot.
Hooray shopping gods
