A Literate Pumpkin
I got this idea from Cloth Paper Scissors's Sept./Oct. 2010 issue -- gluing printed text onto a plastic pumpkin. I "borrowed" one of the Beadboys' pumpkin containers we use for trick-or-treating (after promising repeatedly to buy a new one before Halloween) and pasted on strips cut from dictionary pages (thinner than other printed pages):
Funny how even though the dictionary was old and redundant, I felt guilty every time I ripped out a page.

That is so cool. Of course, now I have "How do you solve a problem like Maria" stuck in my head because of will-o'-the-wisp. :-)
