With Halloween right around the corner, nothing gets the spirit going like carving a pumpkin. I know Paul is talented in carving a pumpkin, but I have not been granted that gift. However, nothing can beat the carvings by Ray Villafane, an artist for Villafane Studios. Some of his carvings are just amazing.
His work is extremely detailed. He has carved some scary looking pumpkins, as well as some portrait pumpkins such as the Predator, Chucky, and even David Letterman. On Monday, Ray was given the oppurtunity to carve away at 2 gigantic pumpkins, one being the world’s largest pumpkin weighing in at 1818.5 lbs. So at the New York Botanical Garden, His artwork is on display. It is a carving of zombies bursting out of the pumpkin. What better way to celebrate Halloween.
A video game that consists of a high school cheerleader, who kills zombies with a bedazzled chainsaw, is something…different.
Grasshopper Manufacture Inc, who are known for mostly doing Japanese games, has teamed up with American writer and filmmaker James Gunn. They are developing a game, where a California high school cheerleader, Juliet Starling, has to fight off hoardes of zombies, led by “Zombie rock and roll lords.
Sounds pretty similiar to another high school cheerleader from late 1990′s, but instead of zombies, there were vampires. I think her name was Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. With all the pizzazz and candy, this will certainly be an interesting game to play.
With the release date sometime in 2012, Lollipop Chainsaw is still in development.
While technically I’m pretty sure all Hibiscus flowers are eatable er I mean edible these creations from thinkgeek sure do look sharp. Are they ridiculous, yes. As they neat looking… well yes.
Are they Tasty? Possibly. Here is the thing, Hibiscus Tea, or rather the Hibiscus Herbal Infusion people commonly call tea is a lovely light floral scent and taste. These plumes are actually dipped, coated and soaked in sugar and water to make them candy too! So you will probably taste more sugar than anything.
You can do this with more than just Hibiscus, at home! One of my favorite classroom experiments when growing up was to make candy flowers. We would pick American Violets from the schoolyard, and Mint Leaves from a garden. Wash and dry them. Then we would dip and soak them in a mix of egg white and fine sugar. After you dip and set the flowers in their desired arrangement you just let them dry. and Voila! Candy.
Some Orchid’s are even edible too. There is an entire world of stuff you can eat. But always ask a grownup…
