Well this year Steven and I thought we'd buy a couple of pumkins to put in the porch for when the kids come round trick or treating. Neither of us have carved pumpkins before and after being inspired by some fab ones we saw online we thought we'd give it a shot... then realised there's a little more to it then we first thought and re-thought our designs! I still think we did a pretty good job so thought I'd take a couple of pics :)

This is my witch on a broom

They are fantastic. I love the demon face! Ooooh, spooky:o:o
 
Can piggies have pumpkin then? I wasn't sure, just when I was carving mine it kind of went all over the floor ( just as well I have laminate! ) and Athena kept running over trying to get it so I had to keep shooing her off cos I wasn't sure whether it was safe for them or not.
 
they look great and i espec love the witch one! - i not long did one and it looks rubbish - i cut way too much for the mouth and all you can see if the stupid candle - pumpkin smells foul also, i didn't even try to give any to my piggies.
 
this is my not so scary one from last year!

Going to do one tomorrow but not sure of the design yet!
 
They are fab and great for your first time!

I stick to what i know best and just do easy pumpkin faces as I'm rubbish at drawing etc.

:))
 
Lol is there even such a thing as a professional pumkin carver?! I just found a template online, printed it out, taped it to the pumpkin then went round all the edges putting pin pricks in so that when you take the template off it's just like a dot to dot really. Bit fiddly in places but as long as you've got patience anyone can do it ( I'm not at all arty )

Cool pumkin design, it's Hello kitty right?

Yep :)
 
What brilliant Pumpkins, we did a Cyclops and a Jack Skellington today but they're not as good as yours inbreeding
 
I have just been cutting my pumpkin and would love to make a really good carving on it, any ideas of good sites where I can get stencils etc?

I'm also just popping out to Asda, love going on Halloween as you get loads of discounted goodies. x
