Pumkin Carving

A couple years ago I started carving faces on pumpkin's for Halloween. I'm enjoying having the trick or tweeters making comments on the faces. The  one with the mustache was carved a couple weeks ago so it has gained some mold and lost some facial features.

King and Queen

The King and Queen completes the chess set that has a Christmas theme. The King represents Father Christmas. I wanted a older look of Christmas, of the time of giving without the commercial of gifts. The Queen was hard for me as I came with several choices. I like the way she turned out and is a very important figure in chess as well as life. So now it is the time to play.

 

Knights and Bishops

The Knights were carved as reindeer. I super glued the antlers to add some strength. It also gave a little sheen to the antlers when I painted them. The Bishops give a religious flavor for the Christmas theme of this chess set. One of my favorite times of this season is the candle light services. I enjoy the music although I'm not a good singer.
