My Fall Ritual
I haven't been doing much creatively lately. At least not in my studio. I think I've been avoiding it. Everyone goes through times like this and I know enough about myself to know that I can't force it. The desire will come back soon. I seem to go through this with every seasonal change and since we have 4 very distinct ones here in Maine, I'm good at it. In the meantime, here is a picture of something I make every october to celebrate fall...my pumpkin totem. It will MAYBE last till thanksgiving if we don't have a really hard frost. It pleases me to pull into the drive and see it.

Okay--How do you do it? Is there a long pointy pole in the center? what keeps them from rotting? I don't have any interesting gourds but I can plan ahead.
We used to have an abundant supply of bittersweet but one year we were a bit too vigorous in "clean up" and now it's all gone.
Hi, Your pumpkin totem is very clever. What a great idea!
This IS a great idea! I love this...and hope I can remember until next year so I can try one.
