So I just recently joined Brandie and I'm a Blog alcoholic! I am also Obsessed with Carving Halloween Pumpkins and May expand to Watermelons this Summer!
So I went Shopping for the right Pumpkins and I got extremely aggressive with my carving this year...I added Photo Carvings and Also Had a Pervy Pumpkin carved for Ms Sara Swears a lots Pumpkin Contest...
Normally Id buy a pumpkin carving kit and patterns from the Walmart or Halloween Store...pick the hardest from their book and go to town! However after a morning Coffee and tutorial session on YouTube I decided Ill carve Photos this year... Cuz really How hard can it Be!? HA! Well it was hard and after 9 Hours my back was killing me! I also learned how to Roast Pumpkin Seeds and quite Frankly Im wondering Why I had to wait 41 years for thouse toasty tastey pieces of Heaven! So Enjoy! Give me Feed Back...I have One more to carve...For the Hunka...He wants a Death Star Pumpkin...Ugh! Star Wars! Really?

Holy crap, those pumpkins are amazing!! Andy is all, "Ask her how she did it!! Now!! Hurry!!" and I was like, DUDE, SHUT UP. GIVE ME TWO SECONDS. So..... how did you do it?! My fiancee will be forever grateful.
PS - If I had put this pumpkin up to be voted on, you probably would have kicked both our asses in the polls.
LOL! Sara I started out using the Pattern Books Several Years ago and if you YOUTUBE search pumpkin Carving...Oh Crap Here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pumpkin+carving&aq=2
I a lot of results show Up. I have an office in my home and I just blew up the photo (Using a Simple Photo) and then outlined the basic cuts and punch holes around the photo while it was taped to the pumpkin...It get confusing a little when you remove the photo so rub baby powder on the pumpkin to see the pattern clearly..The I just started working from the top down using the pumpkin skin for shading! I really Impressed my self!~ This is the First Year that I engraved the pumpkins...which means I cut into them but not through them!
love them both where is the death star?
lol I had to take a break...9 Hours of Carving and I needed to Stretch!
