Pumpkins with Personality

October 29, 2012

I’ve met a few characters in my day, but none quite like this guy….He does look familiar doesn’t he?

Most of my carved pumpkins look more like this:

Though in my head, they begin like this:

Carved gourd

My knife skills aren’t all that good-perhaps I should stick to gourds that already seem to have a personality like this one:

Halloween gourd

I do love all the possibilities that these gourds inspire:

But, I really am a traditionalist, and I like the plain jack-o-lantern variety pumpkin…

This will do nicely:

Halloween Pumpkin

Can’t wait…just two more nights until Halloween (57 until Christmas…..)

    I like the first one, it looks like they used the stalk as part of his hair. Clever. Mine just turn into a crazy mess.

      Mine did too. And what is worse…I waited a few days before I photographed them–and they were filled with the nastiest hairy mold I’d ever seen. They are already in the trash!
