This year was my first attempt at shading a foam pumpkin, and I will have to say, I struggled with it and did not enjoy doing it. I used a Dremel tool and tried a few different attachments, but was unhappy with the results. I also tried using clay carving tools, but the foam was too tough and rubbery for me to cut through it. The shaded area was very rough. When I lit the pumpkin, the whole pumpkin glowed like a giant blow mold. The shaded areas barely stood out. It was a sugar skull pattern on a white Michael's foam pumpkin.
What I really need is a set of clay caring tools that are as sharp as xacto knives. Can anyone tell me the best tools for shading a foamie?
Thanks
