I hope to have him done tomorrow!!!!

That looks great did you make the head or did you buy it?

It is the big $50.00 pumpkin from Micheal's

I totally need to make one of these. You guys are so inspiring.

Nice Job so far. I want to see it when its finished

Will you be lighting the inside of the JOL?
If so, what are you using?

I like the look! The black is a nice contrast with orange at the eyes and mouth.

Yes it is lit already but its not bright enough its a purple bulb now I need something brighter so you can really see it I will have to mess with it.
I had night light socket on a cord with a switch.

A night light socket - I think that's the C5 bulb size...perhaps you have a blue bulb from an outdoor christmas string? The blue may give the effect you want, but show up a bit better than the purple.
I use red inside the pumpkin head on my scarecrow...a series of flashing red LED's, to give a flickering effect. Sadly, they're not all that bright either...

Heh. A scarecrow that's not all that bright.

i like the head alot, cant wait to see it finished

That is absolutely AWESOME!!! The face you've chosen is reminiscent of the one in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow which i have wanted to do for years. Can't wait too see how yours turned out!
