here you go
a popular window decal, copied or scanned, cut then traced on an unsuspecting pumpkin and cut
|
the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.

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).

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

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.

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

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)
