I come from a surfing family (and I am married to a surfer) so for my final fall pumpkin project I couldn't resist creating a few whimsical beach themed pumpkins!
For those who have asked what I do with my pumpkins- I actually use them through November in home decor, I will also use them as a center piece on the table and even give them away to friends and family.
For those who have asked if its sad to throw them out when the time comes- the answer is no. I actually love creating art/craft that is temporary. There is something quite beautiful to me about a creative project that have a shelf life!
Here is run down of all the pumpkins tutorials over the years. Its been a blast getting creative with such a simple materials and I can't wait for more fun with pumpkins next year!
1. black and white pumpkins 2. finger painted pumpkins 3. pattern pumpkins 4. geometric pumpkins 5. sketchbook pumpkins 6. messy pumpkins 7. pretty painted pumpkins

Pumpkins on the beach! What a great thinking out of the box idea. All your pumpkin creations are great. I like the idea of creating something with a shelf life. It just means you can create more. It's a good thing.
Alisa, your pumpkins are the best! So creative.
I have such fond memories of the retreat.
Hope Lucy has a fun Halloween.
Hugs,

I love your pumpkins especially the beachy ones! Your work inspires me!
Question - how do you feel about people posting your stuff on pinterest? I am trying to be more careful about this and notice your work on there often.
I haven't gotten pumpkins for years but these make me want to paint some!!! wonderful...love the setting on the beach photos too.

I am a new reader, and am totally loving your blog! Your pumpkins are phenomenal & are making me want to do something creative & untraditional for ours this year.

Love the beach pumpkins - I live in Florida so they really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing those and all the rest.
Hang the typical! And hooray for the unexpected! All your examples are wonderful!
They all look great. I love the sunset/sunrise pumpkin.

These are so much fun! I can't wait to try some pumpkin painting of my own later. Your surfers inspired my to think outside of the autumnal box when I plan my holiday decorating!
