Celebrate the start of summer and enjoy those long weekends grilling on a Big Green Egg! How about something new … try the Dos Equis “Most Interesting” Three Cheese and Chorizo Fondue, or a Gourmet Pizza with Prosciutto & Arugula for a different grilling experience! For all you traditionalists, you can’t top Stuffed Burgers cooked on the Big Green Egg! And be sure to catch up with the KCBS Great American BBQ Tour!
Boy, I wish that was all it would take to finish off our summer, I'd down the whole bottle! :lol:
Two thirty this afternoon and it is 90º and feels like 99º but I have to be careful what I wish for, if it ever gets below 80º again it will feel chilly and below 75º is down right cold!
You're too humble.... well at least when it comes to pumpkin carving :~).... the way you sculpted the light and shadow in reverse on the hide of a gourd and then illuminated it from inside is pretty amazing. Have you ever tried reverse painting on glass? That would seem easy in comparison. Cool stuff, man.
i haven't done reverse painting on glass. that's nutty. holy heck.
but watercolor is a form of "reverse" painting. you can't really do anything but make it darker as you add color, so you have to start with highlights and go around deepening values elsewhere.
frankly the easiest way to carve these is to carve one shallow design on the front and scoop from the back constantly checking how light (thin) it is.
but this one had some funky shadows (edges) and that frigging glass vessel on the right, and so i just carved it from the front to keep the details.
You may have to squint - but I think that once you see him, you'll know what I'm talking about....this is one of the first photographs that I took of the moon. I must say I'm glad the focus was off, otherwise I would have missed "The Man In The Moon". :kiss:

I am a big fan of your Woosday posts as well, you are gifted with a great eye for photography that many people can only dream of.
