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

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...

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.

mister C........that buzzard is fuckin' deadly..........you do some fine work man.


thanks for sharin'

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

Some real beauties there.

I didn't get to carve a pumpkin this year :mad:

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.

Carved with my kids...

Im interested in knowing what y'all use to carve these intricate patterns with

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... ;)

ShaniFaye,

I will def keep this in mind for next year :) Maybe I'll run into something "medieval or celtic"

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.
