Punkin Head
Oct 28, 2015 16:40:25 #
Here's the first of a series of carved "Punkin Heads" for this year's Halloween, the eyes on this one are catseye marbles. Every year I carve a few of these critters to give my friends and customers. There's an animated slideshow and some photos of previous years on my website if anyone would like to get a short overview of how it's done.

You have real talent. Do you carve or sculpt in any other materials?

Thanks, these are a fun release from business work. I do carve in other media also, usually wood, I use the same carving chisels for the pumpkins and they sure are softer to work on.

I hope you take photos of all your pumpkin art! It may be softer than wood but sure doesn't last as long.

Thanks, glad you like them, gives me a chance to do what I want to do in stead of what the customer wants.

Thanks, they're fun to do. Each pumpkin has its own personality inside, I just remove meat until the right face comes out.

Yeah, my wife has several albums from years past. You're right they don't last long, I take photos of the decaying process too.

I've never seen anything like this. Really neat. The color of the squash? is unexpected with the texture of the carving.

Elliott Design, nice, interesting, enjoyable picture. This is an excellent example of someone using their imagination to produce a good picture...you did great. :thumbup: Tejaswrangler :)

Thanks, it's been a fun hobby of mine for years. Yes, the color is a light orange spray to help seal and preserve the pumpkin, they start deteriorating pretty quickly.

That kind-of looks like one of the monsters from "Ghostbusters!". I could never do anything like that.

Thanks, I enjoy finding the character hiding in each pumpkin.
