The kitchen staff (so that includes me
) at work were offered 2 free pints to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.
Never having carved one before I didn’t know what to do so had a thought and came up with this idea and quickly mocked it up on the computer just before I had to leave:


I didn’t know where to start carving so after copying my design roughly onto the pumpkin I started with the person first.
I think it turned out reasonably well for my first one, and it was definitely worth the free pints
.
Happy Halloween.





Hey that looks great! Doesn’t look like a first time carving too.
That looks really nice! Good thing you don’t have to carve pumpkins in Finland, I wouldn’t be able to anything close to that.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Are you sure you never carved a pumpkin before???? I’ve been doing it all my life and I’m still an amateur!
Your’s is awesome!
PS: will attempt the show yourself meme tomorrow! I’ve been hiding and trying to decide whether or not come out of the closet! LOL
I carved a carrot into a shrunken voodoo head about 3 weeks ago
that was my first intoduction to carving!!
Thanks for the compliment, I had loads of messy fun doing it!
Thanks for carrying on the meme
. I have you in my Google reader so i’ll come over ad comment when it’s up.
WOW! That’s really good! I think carving pumpkins is hard and I do whatever I can to get out of it. You did a nice job and deserve those pints.
Thanks Lynn
All these compliments are giving me a big head. In fact it’s almost pumpkin sized right now!
For your first pumpkin, This is real good and artistic!
Love it!
Dude, you’re first carving? No. Way. That’s pretty cool.
Thanks
Bush even gave me some link love for it
Impressive.
Pumpkin carving like you never imagined.
