Hi All, Well, so much for finding lots of time to work on pumpkins, instead a whole bunch of work related stuff got in the way.... So, first try with Stick'n Carve went very well, certainly saves time from using Saral transfer paper, which is a good sign. Only comment that I have to make with using ...

I have to *bump* this one up the list. I'm not sure how popular/known the Gruffalo is in the USA, but here in the UK AFAIK it's part of their education ;-) In numerous woodlands near to our home there are wood carvings of the characters from the Gruffalo series, and the books that Julia Donaldson ha...

Well, I've now been banned from buying more pumpkins for this year. 21 is the total, and still hoping that maybe just maybe I can sneak a few more in between now and the big day! Currently planning two day's of carving (Thursday/Friday), and into Halloween day if necessary... Frozen: - Anna, Elsa & ...

I still have a copy of this design, and it's on my list of designs for this year

Well, plans are truely scuppered, as I think I now need to start my flight to Oz 23rd maybe 24th October. I just dont think that 10 days before Halloween is going to work for clingfilm, and vaseline...? I'm not sure I can persuade the other half to invest lots of time/effort soaking pumpkins in wate...

Aarghh! Aarghh! Aarghh! Aarghh! Aarghh! Aarghh! Aarghh! Aarghh! Just found out that my plans for Halloween have been dashed as I'll be flying long haul to Australia on the 31st. On that note, photo's of this years carvings will be a little earlier than planned, I'm sure that vaseline, cling film and...

What an absolutely incredible pumpkin display, the carves are exquisite, the photography is exceptional, the props are brilliant and the lighting is perfection.

I must...I must...I must try harder next year.....!

Many thanks for the great feedback. I am certainly looking forward to next Halloween already....! (sure I'm not the only one!) I will try the vaseline tip with the carvings next year, and if I can make enough time available then I'll try and get them all carved a couple of days before hand wrap 'em ...

Many thanks for all the kind words. @Mesmark, I found that there are a few things that can be done to try and speed up the process of carving the pumpkins, certainly the choice of design can go a long way in reducing the amount of time it takes. But I think that the things that have helped are: Carv...

Once again a massive massive thank you to ZP for the fantastic site, designs and shop etc., this place is just fantastic!! This year was a little bit of a mix of some old and new, Frank's Monster and the Roswell Alien were back again, no zombies this year though :( ...I'll need to look into that nex...

The street certainly enjoyed the lineup for this year, and some of the pumpkins were shown on the BBC Breakfast show for Halloween too. http://www.klickpit.com/images/static/Pumpkins_2012-a.jpg http://www.klickpit.com/images/static/Pumpkins_2012-b.jpg Many thanks to ZP for the wonderful designs!! - ...

Hell Yeah! Ghost Rider, now that would be fab!

I would love to see something available for Evel, certainly my favourite stuntman as a child, and I still have a loft/attic full of his stunt toys from the early 70's.

I can't begin to imagine how many days of carving was involved to produce an incredible display such as that. Absolutely fantastic, certainly worthy of having a television crew to cover the event! Absolutely brilliant, well done!

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I will try and stick around and take as much inspiration as possible for the carving season next year. Thanks again for such a warm welcome, it is greatly appreciated.
