Hi! Welcome to my pumpkin patch art gallery! Folks come by, grab blank pumpkins, make them special and bring em back! Then I hang them up for all of Portland (and the internet) to see! Each and every one has so much character, I can’t get enough of this project! Can’t wait to see what shows up next! This project will be up through Halloween. The location is a secret, so send me a message for a fun little clue! 🎃 #halloween #yard #art #community #DIY #craft #pumpkin #portland #oregon #pdx
