As promised, here is my finished (?) jack-o-lantern BB.
(I think he needs a stem and I'm working on how to do it--- and maybe some curly pipe cleaners for vines.

| He's adorable! Funniest part is that you posted this at 0:58 - somebody must have been up all night "playing"!!!
Me, I wake up like 3-4am to "play".
Quiet time. |

Thanks guys.. I think he's pretty cool too. I need to get his stem finished before Halloween is over lol
giggles, I had to stay up until after midnight so my hubby could be the first to wish me Happy Birthday. lol The reason I picked a happy face is because it was the simplest.... its not easy to create intricate designs when dealing with round marbles.
I cut these with my tile nippers and glued the flat side down in order to get them closer together. I wanted the black part to be very dense in color. Then I cut the ones that went around his face to get them tighter too. I just wish I had made his fangs a little more visible... they kinda disappear.
I may have to go back with some sand paper and take down a few sharp edges on the orange pieces too. I found out the hard way how sharp they are. |

| Wow!! He looks great!! I see where you cut them! I would have thought they would disinagrate & they are hard to hang on to. So sounds like you got cut a few times!!If it will be outside you could use a small wood branch piece for stem as you could whittle the end & glue it in & it would last much better than pipecleaners, then add a curl of green wire (curl aroun d pencil or pen. Use about 20 gauge. May have some around as floral wire or stems came in pkg of several from Michael's or Joanne's. Jan |

| OMgosh, beck, he is so adorable for the holiday season! Your hard work pd. off! With all the glass/pottery ideas on this forum, I thought right away of a "glass stem"...maybe you can find a dark amber or brown "shot glass" & glue on upside down...along with the twirled wire stuck underneath the glass before you glue (great idea, sunnyca!) Oh, whatever you do, he is just so-o-o cute! TFS! Jeanne S. |

That is so clever, I have never seen the orange marbles. It's just as well, I've already got two BBs ready to start. Let us know what you do for the stem, great work.

I think your pumpkin is so cute!
Did anyone see the latest issue of Family Circle? It has a cute pumpkin cake on the cover. I thought perhaps it was a BB at first. I had to flip thru the magazine to find out who made it. Boy did I feel stupid! |
