Here’s a few more pictures of my [tag]nephew[/tag]s and another [tag]niece[/tag] for you to see. They are a murderous bunch known to some as the California 4.

Halloween Costumes

Author: Jeffrey

cheycostume.jpgbibicostume.jpgMy normally beautiful [tag]niece[/tag] decided to punk it up for [tag]Halloween[/tag] this year. Actually, I think she’s still beautiful, but a little scary too. It looks like her dog even got into the act with a [tag]costume[/tag] of her own. Click on the images for a closer look.

If you happen to be one of my other nieces or nephews, send me a picture of your costume, pumpkin, or whatever else you did for the holiday and I’ll put it up here too!

Pumpkin Carving Madness

Author: Jeffrey

I got a little carried away this year with the [tag]pumpkin carving[/tag]. I have tried some pretty creative things in the past, but I decided to go a little beyond this time, well … for me anyway. I thought you might like to see the results. I’lll show you the process I went through.

I started with this picture of Mel and I:

Then I erased the background and reduced it to black and white with only 3 tones, like this:

Then I traced the image onto the pumpkin and carved it out to different depths. The dark areas remained as the skin of the pumpkin, the midtone areas i carved to about 1/4″ deep, and the lightest areas to about 1/2″ deep like this:

And here’s what it looks like lit up. You have to use your imagination here, hard to take a picture in the dark:

Overall, I was pleased with the results. What do you think?
