Well it’s October and Halloween is swiftly approaching which means PUMPKIN CARVING!!! 😀
Uusall we grow our own, but between the crappy weather and the squirrels 😡 we got none this year. so I won’t get to do any real pumpkins unless I buy one. However, have been doing a few of those foam craft PumpkinsBrother’s condo unit is finally done so he wants Pumpkins for his place
this is an old pattern I’ve done on many, many pumkins over the years
Tried something different here and gave kitty a ‘stained glass’ eye. Sort of worked
I’ve got more that I need to do pics for and will post when I get them done.
Come On Everyone and show your Pumpkins!!! 😀 😀 😀
Wow, those are all wonderful carvings! I didn’t even know they SOLD foam craft pumpkins! LOL GREAT job, can’t wait to see the others you post 🙂
Gorgeous! I especially love the cat one – the green eye idea is genius!
I haven’t carved a pumpkin in years but I was thinking about trying out the whole shaving-off-the-skin technique to add different layers of luminescence (or I guess I could call it “shading”). Have you ever done pumpkins like this? I’m a little nervous to try but I’ve watched a couple of videos on it and I think I’m ready to destroy a gourd 😀

Don’t be nervous! It’s just a pumpkin, not a Windstone! 😀 I’ve done it before, it didn’t last long, but it looked neat ’til it sunk in.skeeterdeee wrote:Don’t be nervous! It’s just a pumpkin, not a Windstone! 😀 I’ve done it before, it didn’t last long, but it looked neat ’til it sunk in.
You’re right, of course! I think I’ll stop by the grocery store after work and pick one up 🙂

I have and its lots of fun (more mess 😀 ) I find that the trick in doing that is knowing how thick your pumpkins skin is, and the thicker the better if you want to do lots of layered shavings. And have a lit candle nearby so you can check your progress:)
Want to see pics when your done! 😀
More….
The second one for my brother and the white cut away part actually glows, the camera hates it and won’t pick it up for photos
A very special Pumpkin that was sent out and since I know that they’ve recieved (and like) it heres a pic 😀
I also got a commission to do one for one of my nieces little friends! 😮

Definitely! I stopped by the store last night and picked up a couple pumpkins (a big ‘un and a little ‘un), so I’ll take pictures when I’m done – disaster or no!

I’ve been wanting to carve a pumpkin for years but just never got to do it…until this year! I’m so happy. Here’s what I came up with (it’s based on that famous John Lennon self portrait 🙂
