To Antique or Not To Antique

Bob K. · #1 10-11-2011, 01:55 PM

Here is my third pumpkin. After carving it and looking at all three I thought they might look better if I antiqued them...so that's what I did. I would like your opinions on whether or not you think that was a good idea. I've included photos of the first two pumpkins before they were antiqued to use as a comparison. Thanks.

Sorry...I got screwed up adding the photos...here are more photos.

Think I prefer my pumpkins 'fresh'

Hi Bob. Like both but I think I lean to Buffalo's 'fresh'.

Got so caught up in their personalities....what was the question again? Like 'em all, by the way!

In this case, I like 'em "without"!

I will vote for the fresh looking ones.

I sorta like the antiqued ones... What did you use for the antiquing?
