No real time to make an actual entry, but this is just too important to ignore:

I made a jack-o-lantern out of an orange peel!

Here's one pic
And here's one with my headlamp shoved up in it!

This is important stuff, guys!

That is cool. Even the textures are right; makes it look like a shrunk-down pumpkin. Man, that must have taken a lot of patience to carve...

Actually carving it was simple. The only part that was a little tricky was getting the orange peel off more or less completely intact. Even then, the oranges they send out here have really thick skins.

Basically, I cut a hole in both the top and bottom, so I could have a way to get at the orange from all angles, and cut a line down the back. If you look carefully through the eyes and mouth, you can see it. Then I peeled the whole thing, trying to leave what I had intact. I held the cut in back together with duct tape, but after it dried out it held its shape just fine on its own.
