Oh that is sooooooo cute!

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.

Becky, love him. Great job.

TOO Cute!! He is such a happy looking Jack...great job!!

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.

Nipped all those marbles?? OMG!!! He's so cute. Worth the effort.

Very cute. I'm impressed that you shaped the marbles.

That is to cute!!!

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!

Is he cute! Great Jack-O-Lantern that won't rot and stink plus you can use him again next year. Great idea! TFS!

Happy Birthday too!

What a great pumpkin! I love it!

That is just adorable! Great work.
