The tiny scary Halloween pumpkin took me about three weeks to perfect, and each tooth was individually created from tiny fragments of porcelain and placed within the mouth, each tooth was painstakingly placed into tiny holes. I call it Teeny Weeny Halloweeny! 🎃

The origins of this spooky holiday date back over 2,000 years. Originally known as Samhain, Halloween marked the end of the Celtic calendar year and the beginning of winter. It was believed that on this night, the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth.

I may have created the world's smallest sculpture of a Halloween pumpkin but one fact you might not know is over in the United States, a crazy stat is that they produce about 1.5 billion dollars worth of pumpkins every year, the primary states producing pumpkins are, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California.

Today, Halloween has evolved into a vibrant celebration filled with costumes, candy, and spooky festivities. Fun Fact: The tradition of wearing costumes originated from the ancient practice of disguising oneself to ward off evil spirits. Whether you're dressing up as a ghost, a witch, or your favourite pop culture character, Halloween allows us to embrace our playful and imaginative side.
