Another Batch of Shrunken Heads

Our neighbor said we could pick all the apples we want. So I did just that and carved five into doll heads. One was really big but it looks super cool! The first batch is dried out enough I think. I need to find the sequin pins to put the eyes in. I don't know where they've gotten off to.

The neighbor's apples were a lot harder to carve than the store bought ones. I think they are still a bit unripe. 

The new apples look huge next to the shrunken ones. Now comes the hard part of making the clothes.

Rayburn apples

Most of these went into apple butter.

The ones we picked barely even made a dent.

Apple picking time.

Zombie Attack

I went to bring my six apple heads into the house as night approached. During the daytime I put them outside to dry with cheesecloth over them. I had them up on a stack of pallets about 4' high. When I got close enough I could see a head was missing. I thought maybe my boyfriend was playing a joke on me. But I scoured the ground and about 10 feet away I found the missing head with is brains all chewed out.  I suspect zombies. Or chipmunks. But I'm going with zombies.

The Survivors

Obviously they wanted brains.
