2009 Pumpkin Carvings

I can't believe I forgot to update my blog with my 2009 Pumpkin Carvings! Shame on me!

Get ready, there are a lot of them...I discovered the joy carving fake pumpkins (I used the ones from Michael's), which meant trying more intricate designs since I knew they wouldn't rot away in a few days.

Let's start with the real ones. I did two real pumpkins this year and let my son choose the pattern for both. As you can see, he went for a Batman theme.

This is four patterns on one pumpkin. The Twilight book cover pattern is from http://www.stoneykins.com/ but the other three patterns I created myself.

2008 Pumkpin Carving



One of the things I look forward to with Halloween is the pumpkin carving. This year I did Diego for DS, Mets for DH, and the Twilight movie poster for me. Diego and Mets I found patterns for online. To make the pattern for the Twilight pumpkin I downloaded the PumpkinShop software and created the pattern from the movie poster. It was my first time doing layered carving (shaving the skin off) so there are definitely improvements that can be made, but not bad for my first attempt. The orignal image was:
