Nice, him above is really scary...

Re: Halloween
 

Mine too. These were last year's pumpkin carving efforts. This year I've had a request (from my 7-year-old, unsurprisingly) for one in the process of throwing up the innards. Should be fun...

Re: Halloween
 

... the boxer?

Thanks for the comments folks ... I was just meaning to reinforce the "Halloween Avatar" thing, and give the "judges" a focal point thread to look at :sneaky:

My son (aged 19!) asked if we can do a pumpkin again this year .... I think I'll suggest he carves it himself this year, if he wants one! :)

Re: Halloween
 

Yes the boxer (it was a joke, boom boom). My cat in the mask (avatar) thinks he super scary.
We recently had a 14th birthday party, 13 kids carving pumpkins with one adult present, guess who had to scoop out most of the innerds.... Never again.

Top tip, do not let pumpkin innerds dry out on your floor, it sticks like bloody cement, still scraping it off now, two weeks later....

Youngest has also asked me to do the throwing up pumpkin.

Re: Halloween
 

Last years effort...

Re: Halloween
 

You guys are seriously good - aren't you afraid of chopping off a limb whilst you're hacking away???

Re: Halloween
 

Nah, I keep the kids and OH well away.

Re: Halloween
 

I'd love a go at that, any one got a kid I can borrow?

Re: Halloween
 

You could start on a small scale with apples and then work your way up :thumbup:

Re: Halloween
 

Nice.

I didn't change mine I thought it was scary enough. :)

Re: Halloween
 

Sure, what size would you like? They all come with attitude included free of charge.

Re: Halloween
 

great carving guys! I can't wait to carve my first pumpkin :o

Re: Halloween
 

Can you not do one now? ;)

Finally got my avatar sorted, but wasnt sure it can be seen :rofl:

Re: Halloween
 

no point really, no-one except me & Mr fluff would see it. We live in the middle of nowhere, so halloween won't be happening this year, but at least it's only temporary :thumbsup:

Re: Halloween
 

I know what you mean...we live 3 miles from the nearest shop and apart from a few jooks and chooks, a dog an a cat there is only me and the OH...but i still do one...i think i do it more for me than the kids that might of been here if i lived near anyone LOL

When we had the heavy snow, i played snowballs with the dog(OH hates snow) built a snowman and made snow angels...not bad for a 44 year old hahaha

so i say do one anyway, because you will get enjoyment from carving it, the ens reasult will also please you and its very theraputic to do :D

Re: Halloween
 

I should add the OH thinks i am Crazy!! :blink: :ohmy: :lol:

Re: Halloween
 

HAHAHA you've inspired me, so I'll carve one :thumbup:

Re: Halloween
 

Mwhahahaha (<- evil laugh), my work here is done!! :devil_smile:

Re: Halloween
 

I did one of these last year... the kids loved it.

And the previous year I did one in the process of eating a trick-or-treater...

stuffed a cut of leg from a pair of jeans and a sock with a shoe on it, stuffed the sock in the bottom end of the jeans and stuck the whole lot in the pumpkin's mouth. made a big puddle of fake blood and then scatterd a load of the Halloween candy around it all. That one looked pretty good

Re: Halloween
 

:rofl: that sounds brilliant!
