Only 4 more to go! Woo Hoo!!!

The wife insisted on a cat. Also, I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to carve these pumpkins. Most of them were dried out and very stringy on the inside. It's almost impossible trying to clean them up when they are that way.

Tomorrow will be fun...my first time using shading and a dremel tool on a pumpkin.
Stay tuned...

Nice work!

That's a first for me to see. Nice job.

Great job, can't wait to see the rest!

Love the turnip ... very old school

[BrookR1]

Three more patterns. Two more to go! Woo Hoo!

These were very tricky and delicate carves. Hopefully they will last until tomorrow. I've got them soaking in bleach water now.




Both of these are appearing on the same pumpkin.



And finally Undead Ted. You can't see his other arm because the pumpkin is so big.

Wow, more great stuff!

Turns out I didn't need the Dremel on this one after all. I couldn't have asked for a better pumpkin for this carve. It was soft on the inside, yet firm on the outside...almost like a honeydew melon. It was super easy to carve but still took a long time because of the detail. I didn't want to screw this one up.

Only one more to go, which I will do during my kid's nap tomorrow.

Love it, nice work!

[DeadKing]

Oh, I love this one, really great!

[BrookR1]

Woo Hoo! I'm done! My final carve and first shaded pumpkin! Happy Halloween!

[matspud]

Great carves. Love the Sugar skull one. Did you make the pattern for that one yourself ?

[BrookR1]

I found the sugar skull pattern on a different web site. Sorry, can't remember which.

Wow, such a prolific patch of pretty pumpkins! I love your choices! Great work, and some of those fine lines, wow! Love it!

Here are the final pics from Halloween.
