Spookies

Aah, Halloween time and I must play Tim Curry. So enjoy the pumpkins.

Pria and I carved this little guy.

I wanted a double one again this year and did this guy on the front...

this one that back.

I need a better wall outside so it will reflect more next time.

This guy...was my big one. Took me 3 hours to come up with a sketch...

start

Then came cleaning and prep, which was forever. It was a seriously thick pumpkin. I spent an hour just thinning it out. Now when I made the picture...I didn't envision the problems of what millions of little poke hole really close together would be like. So I had to recut them with the knife and then flower them, so I could actually tell where the lines where supposed to be going.

cutting

I cut and cut and cut, for hours. Not kidding. Surprisingly I didn't cut myself once...

Just in time for Halloween it was done.

Was worth it to me. I like having cool pumpkins. Never have any other decorations up...but my pumpkins are enough for me.
