This topic usually pops up this time of year, so I'll start off... Yes, I'm obsessed.

I unfortunately didn't get a chance to take a picture of mine - but I did the Pi symbol on my pumpkin ..

I think something happened to the theads from the previous years, i went searching for those to get some ideas for this year.

This was the first year ever Dave carved a pumpkin...its not fancy but I found it very cute and I was very proud of him

Grasshopper Green · 11-04-2006, 05:21 PM

Oh my God, Mister Coaster...how long did it take you to carve all of those? Hubby did a very intricate one last year that took him over an hour (not including the cleaning!). Those are awesome!

Shani, yours looks a lot like ours did

My son wanted a silly face so we had a squiggly mouth instead hehe.

This one took 3 1/2 hours...

Toilet paper + 24 hour soak in kerosine + pumpkin =

I really like your V for Vendetta pumpkin Coaster. Very nice work.

They take me an average of about 90 minutes each, including gutting them and transfering the pattern. Some a little more (Psycho, Davy Jones) others a little less.

Thanks for the compliments. If you like the patterns, I'll shoot any TFP'er the designs for free. I actually have a pumpkin carving website that requires a membership, but I'm not posting this in an attempt to whore my site, I just like sharing.

Awesome. I'm jealous. But in a good way.

eribrav · 11-05-2006, 11:20 AM

Some real beauties there.

I didn't get to carve a pumpkin this year

The weather in upstate NY was about the worst ever for growing pumpkins. From 2 big pumpkin mounds I got one pumpkin......it's still half green.

Oh well, there's always next year.

For my pumpkins, we just bought those cheapo "pumpkin carving kits" with the two saws and scraper. (Although I used a drummel for the cat's wiskers...

) I like the kits, because they came with "pop out" tamplates. The pages were die cut, and you just had to pop out the stensil and then use a marker to put the pattern on the pumkin. the kids had fun...

fhqwhgads · 11-08-2006, 03:38 PM

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of this years, but it looked pretty much just like the one I did a few years back. Here's a pic of that one.
