Happy Halloween! Jade here, testing out the thread-making superpowers we got awhile ago but I haven’t used yet.
There’s a lot more detail I could add to this (like the text), but since the lines are mostly very thin it’ll, start to dry out fast–so take a look while it’s still fresh.
So I present to you, the Doors of Durin:
…I hope I did that right!
Oh good! It worked!
Some artistic liberties were taken as to proportions/design due to size and the fact that I’m doing this all with my pocketknife x_x
Mellon!
(Though it’s really a squash.)
Ooh. Very nice!
Awesome!
Ooh, pretty!
In which Jade reminds me yet again why she is one of my favorite people.
Beautiful!
Another lovely carving!
Awesome! Will you be giving extra candy to anyone who gets the reference and says “mellon” when you open the door? Or before you open the door?
No candy! She’ll be giving out roaring fires, malt beer, red meat off the bone.
How do you give out fire?
One of her True Forms is a dragon, so I’m sure she’ll manage.

If only!! I don’t think I’m going to have anyone come by… the door to the street is on a very busy road, I’m between an acupuncture place and a gambling place (it is a really nice house though!! set back from the road, the entrance is just… sketchy…). So nowhere to display it it probably wouldn’t get smashed either : /
But I’ve dumped some battery tea lights in it and have it displayed in the living room at least.
Too bad. I imagined kids coming to the door and saying, “This isn’t a mine. It’s a tomb!”
Wow! This is really neat, Jade!
That is the coolest pumpkin carving – it’s so elegant too.
Thanks guys!! Not cutting through all the way at all really made it easier to do–didn’t have to think about support/weight distribution. Just drawing & shaving it off!
