Spooky pumpkin carving
Day one of turtle shell preparation, making use of kitchen gear.
Do NOT put that on my face.
Perfecting the edges. The need to be perfect (because Carrig really cares)
Painting the shell. Take note of the computer in the background to assure proper scute patterns.
The colors aren't perfect, but close enough to reality to keep dad happy.
The final touches...
May we present you, Carrig the turtle.
Um guys, I can't really move with this thing on my back.
Guess the species? Eastern Painted Turtle.
MOOOOOM! Help! I think an eagle is coming.
These are fantastic! What a memorable first Halloween--not every kid has to fend off eagles in a scientifically accurate turtle costume! The shell is awesome ;-)
