Following last year’s Spectre-themed pumpkin, this year I decided to carve another pumpkin inspired by James Bond. This year, I turned to the most recent film, No Time To Die. Having traced the pattern on the pumpkin and armed with a set of fine wood-carving tools, I carved out the title of the film in the official font. I was rather pleased with the result, and the design does light up nicely.

Continuing the spooky mood, I created a Safin-style Noh mask, cutting away the chin and some of the cheek from a plain papier mâché mask bought from a craft shop. Simple, but effective!
