Tatting Lace "Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

With a suggestion from my oldest daughter I added a pumpkin head   

This worked of great with the skeleton. I found this free pumpkin pattern on you tube and later on Face Book from "Lecosedellaanto" I did change it a bit to fit the body and placing a face with beads.
Below, I still struggle with ribs and this seemed to work best with the 4 I have done so far.

below is the PDF I made. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qGTgvJHP21ba4vdZnZjckAsK-typbRS1

He is possible like this, if dipped in a white Elmer's school glue and small amount of water then blotted dry or Fray Check.

Inserting the skeleton works well, with a chop stick best or long tweezers, forgot to take the picture of the chop stick. 

Note for hips I found it easier to make the coccyx like directions but then I make an outer ring like onion ring then chain down the the top of the femur make the leg go back up and split ring to the coccyx then split ring to leg bones and back up to make a chain to top of coccyx cut and tie. this is way easier than making super large rings.  

I added the black card stock and used a white gel pen to sign and personalize your work!
