It's all we had... I think it's a lot easier to carve a pumpkin (never done one)

Hi Gerri, Takes a bit of hoking through a box of Turnips to find a suitable one
tony-o.bsky.social

Traditionally the eyes and nose tended to be triangles, the mouth jagged like many pumpkin lanterns... mine has a bit of artistic license

Hi Merisi... The teeth weren't any way traditional, rather something I came up with myself - rice - well it was 2016

Okay before we get into the pumpkin overkill season - this is a traditional Irish Jack O’ Lantern, made from a turnip. Hallowe'en as a kid... turnip Jack O’ Lanterns. I made this in 2016... be prepared to bend a spoon
