When taking a night picture, if you wet the ground... When I started reading this I thought, "Oh, Mark did this too. I should also link to his photos." Then I noticed... you ARE Mark. Heh. I've always liked that photo of yours with the wet reflections. I might have to try that myself. But I hope to...
I can't see why cutting the bottom would make it last longer. To me, I see more drawbacks to bottom cuts, compared to cutting a top lid (for the reasons GeologySage mentioned). I think the main benefits to a bottom hole would be... it's easier to place a pumpkin over an already lit candle... and it ...
To me, Halloween isn't a day. It's a month! It's what most people commonly refer to as "October."Nikki wrote:Too bad Halloween is only 1 day out of the year.
Ah, very nice. The world isn't such a bad place after all. 
Thanks for contacting that eBay seller and sharing the reply here.
I've got so much going on at this time of year, it's hard for me to keep an eye on everything. So I appreciate that you guys have my back!
Here are some of my music recommendations to play at your Halloween party this week: Oculus Infernum by Van Helsing's Curse Dee Snider, best known as the lead vocalist of the band Twisted Sister, is the creative force behind this new musical project which strives to be THE soundtrack for Halloween. ...
Each year I print several more XXLs than the year before, but they always seem to sell out pretty quickly. Next season I'll make even more for you big fellas. Did you say XXXL?
And for my more dainty fans, I plan to offer girly style shirts next season as well.
I can see where it might work on a those foam pumpkins from Michaels, as scbadboy has done. Melts a foam a bit, maybe. But not sure it would do anything on a real pumpkin.Nikki wrote:A heated knife? Hey, that might be cool if it singes the edges of the pumpkin so it won't mold as fast.
Heh, thanks for sticking up for me guys. I've chucked the book at these sellers. :twisted: Unfortunately, eBay likes to take several days to take action, and by then the auction is sometimes over. Interestingly, this latest thief bought the stencils from the thief mentioned earlier in this thread. A...
Happy birthday Liz. You October baby, you. Lucky!
So many good ideas. But I think the first task will have to be figuring out how to clone myself. Must create army of worker drone Ryans.
Any luck with this yet? If the mannequin head doesn't look like the right size, I'd ditch that idea. Personally, I'm a fan of pumpkin-headed scarecrows. It might not look like a real person, but I guess that's the idea. A pumpkin head might be more fun and unique. Do you think you'll be able to get ...
Here's an easy topic. If you still dress up for Halloween, what will you be this year? (but don't ask me to answer my own question... it's a surprise 
)
Yea, if I were to make books of patterns, it would probably be on a smallish scale. Something special. But ZombiePumpkins.com will always be the main home for my pumpkin stencils. The web way is easy (for all of us) and it's a great way to reach a lot of people. I love the personal interaction I get...
Yep, I'd like to offer pattern books. Who knows... maybe next year.
I've been carving pumpkins all my life, but didn't start creating my own stencils until about 5 years ago. Then a bit later came this website. This is the 3rd official year of ZombiePumpkins.com. Thanks for the kind words!
