Pumpkin Carving!

Every year my family and I get together all week long and have a pumpkin carving marathon. Last year we completed an incredible 53 gourds. This year, due to my sister in law being 8.9 months pregnant, we completed a nice round 38.

Here are the photos for your enjoyment.

Amazing as always!!! Nicely done. You are so creative!

sillyokio, do you use any specialized tools?

Actually, no. The most "specialized" tool I use for detail is an exact-o knife. The rest is done with the traditional cheap tools that come packaged with the designs. And yes, we use do patterns for 98% of our pumpkins, but I will say that the carousel this year was drawn by hand.
