Sharp knife and a spoon...and converting a classic poster into greyscale, painting it up so it's much tidier, printing it and using a pin to mark the different shades and hacking away.

I'm far to disorganised to bother get some transfer sheets, which certainly would be a lot easier

Love the pinhead one!!!

Like I said can't get the big orange pumpkins in New Zealand! As I would
Certainly have a go as I'm good at art, the small edible ones we get here are really thick, too small and not easy to carve those designs, I'm jealous

I knew you would appreciate them. They are a bit special aren't they. Bob is very arty y'know although he won't say so himself. No carving kit for him ( Didn't know there were such things). Just need to find a way to be able to chisel the available pumpkins here for next year

Yep you can get carving kits in England and the USA of course, no point for the small tough ones we have here

Is it possible to grow your own orange pumpkins in NZ?
