Pumpkins

What sort of pumpkin are you carving? I was going to get the biggest, roundest pumpkin I could find, poke two little holes in it and write "I'm Bob Ford, bitch" on it....
.... However I wussed out and made a scary skeleton pumpkin instead.

Let's have some snaps too. I'll post mine tomorrow.

Re: Pumpkins

No not us but I am very impressed that you can get those pumpkin carving kits and stencils.

Didn't even know about them until this week when sis in law was doing some. Til that point I thought people were just incredibly clever lol

Here are ours. I'm really pleased with the way Frankenstein's Monster turned out. It's the first time I've tried one with a lot of two-tone shadow; it involved peeling the skin off and leaving the flesh so that the light shines through a bit. Had a great template for that one.

I then tried to freehand the same effect with the wolf/moon thing from a picture of somebody else's pumpkin. The hangman's tree was my son's design, modified a bit so it would actually work without collapsing on itself.
