Post Yer Punkins 08
For the first time, I got some shots of the pumpkins actually out on display.
#1 Sorcerer's Apprentice. Carved over a week ago, and it had been left out, dried out, soaked to revive, in the fridge for 5 days, and finally displayed.  Next up, Kitty Kin... This was carved a week ago and was in the beer fridge ever since, it was in the back and the back side of it was frozen! Oh well, the carving looked good. Also, it had one very over-achiever candle in it.  Now for the rest, all carved on Halloween day, starting about 9:30, finished about 5:30.      My wife did the Kermit one...      Still not many kids in the neighborhood, but steadily increasing every year.

the carving was nothing special - except the theme my Lady came up with when she did the bottom-most pumpkin. Her children, burning in eternal flames. How seasonal
 The presentation is what made the pumpkins stand out, framed by burning tiki torches and set off with a strand of pumpkin lights on the lawn. My Lady continually impresses  edited to give kudos to Mr. Coaster for the beautiful pumpkins. I love the Jack in the field! Hey, Will - are you able to get the flames to last? That would be a wonderful thing to set alight on our driveway if it would burn for 2-3 hours.

... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.

I soak a few rolls of toilet paper in kerosene overnight. Each roll lasts from 45 minutes to an hour. If you've soaked it thoroughly enough, you can easily get 6' flames. A paper towel roll can pass 10', but that tends to scare parents.

Love your pumpkins, Coaster!
 I did the face, my partner did the VOTE. The last time I carved anything was '04. This was fun.

Hey, Will, do you unroll the toilet paper, or just set fire to the whole thing?
