Perhaps, the finest example of a fish pumpkin ever carved.

I ain't that talented in pumpkin carving: 2 eyes, noise and mouth is about all I can handle (depends on the number of Scotches).

Here ya go.
If someone can figure out how to fix it so when yiu carve the edges everything doesn't fall out it would work perfectly.

you don't carve all the lines.

that is the one I used, only reversed

just carve only thru the skin on the edges, leave some meat behind it, it will shine light thru some if it's thin enough as long as you remove skin I would think.

Here's reversed!

How did you convert the picture to the pumpkin, is that your's in the photo?

you print it out, then either

1) take an exacto knife and cut out the pattern (only so far that it stays intact) which i recommend, then with a sharpie mark the pattern and place "X's" on the parts you will remove.

or

2) take the print, tape it to the pumpkin or plastic pumpkin found in the craft stores and with a pin or wire brad, poke dots in to use as a template when you carve, you connect the dots! (this gets tricky)

thanks Jenn!

That was Plum Crazy not me that put that up. But oddly enough it does look very similar to the one I used for my seemingly infamous carving!

Maybe I will have to get the creatice juices flowing again :devil:

first go to a craft store and get a plastic pumpkin and a knife
then print your template
then cut your template and place it on the pumpkin
then trace

carefully cut with exacto knife

add glow stick

enjoy forever!

happy Halloween all!!!

Very nice job

Some old names in this thread..... Where did everyone go?

People had kids, moved on, went to other forms of online. The friendships still remain though, I see a lot of people that met thru here still tight
