I spent nearly an hour finding a perfect large and small pumpkin so I haven't had the heart to carve either yet. I think it'll take a boring Friday evening to get me to do it :lol: Anyone have any tips? I always seem to end up with really bad looking pumpkins xD

Wow, wonderful pumpkins indeed! I love the kitties! Shame I currently reside in a flat, I'd love to have a carved pumpkin this year :(
I wish that time would stand still,
if this was part of a film
we would watch the clip all day,
like a portrait of you and I...

Doesnt mean you cant have one inside. Just use a electic tea light, they make them for pumpkins specifcally. I prefer them anyways because they dont blow out.

i love carving pumpkins!!!

Every year at my job there is a pumpkin carving contest. I work at and arts and entertainment college, so competition in the contest is always stiff!

the first year I entered for my department this was my and my team's pumpkin entry. I work in career development, so I tried to symbolize launching a career with a rocket pumpkin:
Image


Last year I actually won 1st place! *squee* with some help from a dedicated co-worker, we came up with a version of Cinderella's coach:
Image

This year I am pretty much going it alone. I am doing a Harvest Moon diarama. I want to carve the pumpkin like a big Victorian lookin man in the moon. It will sit in this scene I've thrown together:
Image

I'm goin to try to take all of the outside orange skin off, and carve into the more yellowy bits underneth. hopefully it will work out! I have never carved one this way before! I'll post more pics when its finished!

finished my pumpkin last night! :) It was hard to get nice pics because of the lighting needed to show off the diarama and get the pumpkin to glow, so it looks a smidge better in person. I'm toying with the idea of adding clouds in the night sky, since the contest isn't until tomorrow afternoon.
