Originally, I’d been thinking of building a face on top of the pumpkin, not carving directly into it. But when I changed my mind, I forgot to reinforce the structure with extra layers of paper mâché. So, as I cut through the pumpkin's face, I quickly realized the walls were so soft and squishy that I had to support the pumpkin with my fingers inside to avoid crushing it. Yikes. At that point, I knew I was in trouble and I had to change plans.
And that's how I redeemed a failed paper mache pumpkin with cardboard! It just goes to show, sometimes, in art, mistakes can inspire creativity! I'm very proud of how this turned out.
