    [Drawing] - Turnip head
    The way the head is made from the turnip is as follows. Two eyes and a mouth are cut and a candle is placed inside between the back of the turnip and the eyes (the middle is cut away in order to make eyes mouth and place the candle inside) the candle will throw the light to the eyes and teeth.
