Show us your Pumpkins and Jack-O-Lanterns

Looks good! Did you make the design on your own? Or did you cheat like me and find a stencil?

Hi David. It's all my own work, I drew on the pumpkin with a whiteboard marker and if I didn't like the looks of it, I just wipe it off and start again. Once I was happy with the design, I just broke out my ol' trusty penknife.
I've always been good at art, so I guess it shows in here.

haha..that's a great idea! Oh and welcome to the forum!

Happy Hallowe'en

These were carved by various colleagues of mine... I'm just the guy with the camera.

Thanks to Dragon Speed for keeping us up to date.


Here are my pumpkins from today!

My Pirate Ship

Just a couple of the kids next to the pumpkins.

What in the world did you use to carve those monsters? A chainsaw?
Those are GREAT!

I forgot to mention that those shots of mine were all taken with the 50D/17-85ISUSM handheld... I love that camera.

Oh my god... I would hate to see your compost pile or be your garbage man

Love 'em!

Here are mine from last night...

Thanks to everyone for posting.
As for my pumpkin with the cats (and the pirate ship), those pumpkins were a little small.
Only around 7 inches high. So I had to shrink the pattern down.
If the pumpkins had been twice that size, the carvings would have looked better.

There's always next year.

Then again, I could always carve a watermelon like Athena did one year.

noxcuses1, Holy crap mate what did you do?
Go to Chernobyl and let them sit for a month?

S.Horton, Isn't this the pick of destiny devil from the ten D movie?

^ I think its a wolf...

Good stuff.I love pumpkin carving.lol...

Thanks Monty

Kill.you must spend a fortune at SpookMasters.I was going to try that cat one you did!

Actually, I save my patterns from every year. Instead of ruining the books and only using the patterns once, I photocopy them so I have them for another time.

Just for size reference, here is a shot of all four of them together. Had they all been large like The Grim Reaper, then I think the cats and the pirate ship would have turned out better. When you reduce the patterns in size, it gets tougher to make those cuts.
