Halloween Pumpkin Decoration, Whimsical Pumpkin, Pumpkin Carved From Gourd With Large Mouth, Gourd Art, Indoor Fall Pumpkin With Lights

Meet Hugh! A handmade pumpkin decoration that is made with a real, dried gourd! It's surprising to know that Hugh began as a seedling on a farm! To make this spooky pumpkin, I carve a dried gourd and clean out the middle. I then carve his face by hand, just as you would a fresh jack-o-lantern. Translucent paints and waxing show off the gorgeous shell of the pumpkin gourd feels wonderfully smooth to the touch.

I love these pumpkins with extra large mouths because they make really fun candy or treat dishes! Fill the big mouth with your favorite wrapped candy and you've got another unique way to decorate your home for the fall!

Fun Facts & Tid Bits
-Hugh's measurements are 17 inches tall(not including the stem) and about 8 inches wide.
-The acorns are from my own collection I've gathered at my home.
-I use dried gourds that come from farms grown in the United States.
-I leave the inside unpainted because I think it's important to not forget the true nature of this little pumpkin is a real vegetable; not a piece of plastic.
-Hugh the gourd includes a battery-operated candle.

Thoughts on my love of battery-operated candles. There's nothing better for your fall tabletop decor than to have lighted whimsical gourds around your home! However, I am lazy. I really don't enjoy walking around my house turning on all the lights, and then having to turn them off at bedtime. So I include a battery-operated candle with a timer. This is the best invention ever! You turn on the timer setting around dusk, then it stays on for about six hours. It will turn off on its own! It's so heartwarming when the gourds just light up as the sun is setting. You don't have to touch it again until the battery runs out and needs to be replaced.
