Do the best pumpkin carving 43Things has ever seen (read all 11 entries…)
This is not the best... 3 years ago

This is supposed to be the first pattern I posted, with the grave and the trees and an owl.

The owl fell into the pumpkin. So he was transfered to the pile of guts for the puking pumpkin. Couldn’t get the branches to come out right. So now it’s just a moon and a grave. Stil kinda scary.

Sorry, luckily you had a purpose in case the pumpkin carving didn't work out as planned...

Ok did you use a push pin for the detailed stuff?

Light it up and see what it looks like...

:(

I tired the push pin thing, but for some reason, the knife I had {from a year old Halloween stencil kit} didn’t work very well on this pumpkin. Maybe it was just a bad carving pumpkin. The skin was really really hard…

And I tried lighting it up {you can see the candle in the pumpkin} but I didn’t get a picture of that yet. I forgot to turn the flash off. Hopefully tonight will be a good night to take a picture.

hopena will be back soon ~

This sounds like the pattern I tried this evening..

and I failed miserably. My owl was okay, but I lost part of the grave, and then a branch didn’t want to cooperate.
I had a backup pumpkin, but had problems with an easier pattern too (a haunted house), so I just did what I could and called it a night. :)

If your haunted house...

had bats with it, I’m sure we got our patterns from the same website.

I too have a backup pumpkin and even if it’s November 1st, I think I’ll try to carve it again. I really liked this pattern and usually people love my carvings. They always say they look really good.
