A Halloween spoon race turns the garden path into a careful balancing game. A girl in a felt feather costume watches the white egg in her wooden spoon, smiling beneath a small bird-shaped cap. Beside her, a boy in a clockwork waistcoat takes his next step, his free hand held out as he concentrates.

Layered mustard, russet and navy feathers give the dress an elaborate handmade shape. Bronze-colored cog decorations stand out against the dark waistcoat and fine striped shirt. Large moth decorations fill the fence behind them, with orange cones, flowering pots and glowing pumpkin faces along the grass. Their different expressions and measured steps give the bright autumn setting its playful movement.
