This thread is for any and all that will be joining me in the fun of Carving Pumpkins this year.


The Pumpkin Challenge
Scary, cute, pirate, or mutt
Vomiting baby, even a two cheeked butt.

Pull out your scrapper, knife and drill
And carve us up a trick or treat thrill

Death star, wizard, dragon or robot
Get stoned, creative and show us what you got
-WasntMe 2010





But whether you are painting, carving or even sculpting share them with us and show us your before and after pics if you can.

Feel free to add any tips and tricks that you have learned over the years.

i.e. 1. To help extend the life of your pumpkin spread a thin coat of Vaseline over the exposed flesh. It will help hold in the moisture & give you more time with Jack before he rots.



Happy Carving everyone!!

So here are the ones I carved:




The Pirate ship (my version of The Black Pearl) and Jack Skellington are my favs but the "Howl at Moon" was probably the technically hardest one and the one that people took pictures of the most.




I hope yours came out good and you guys had fun with them.....



anyone else with pics?

Hey Krunchbubble,
Yeah I did manage to do that ship this year, I'm pretty proud of it ... cutting out the ripped sails really tried my patients. There was a stencil out there, around the time of Pirates of the Caribbean Movies that looks very similar to this that I used for my inspiration .. a couple of my own small mods hence why I call it my version of the Black Pearl. This ship and Jack ended up being my favorites this year. Hope you liked it.

Thanks for stopping in Bird.
The eye shape with the big vampire grin on that one is fun! Hope you guys enjoyed carving your version.

BrainSellz & Scrogerman..
Thanks for the positive feed back. I certainly don't think I'm an artist at it, I'll save that for the guys that can 3D sculpt .. to me, that is amazing. I am glad you enjoyed them though and I do feel like I have been getting better over the years... The Howling wolf was defiantly the hardest I ever did and really tried my saw skills ... this one also got the most camera attention from my neighbors.

Scrogerman, (I'm sure) We would all love to see your kids carving .. I know I would. Kids have the best imagination with this type of stuff, it's always amazing seeing what they come up with.
