My clowns are looking a bit too orange

Well, it was the only way I'd get you to look at this thread! After the pumpkins that found thier way into POTM I had to go evasive. ;-) See what happens when I get bored? Strange things occur! Sometimes I have to be saved from myself, just ask Brook!

What was used to carve that? It is amazing, and I find that conventional knives are too large and clumsy.
Thanks,

I used a regular kitchen paring knife for 99% of it. I had bought a $6 carving kit from Albertson's but all i used from it was the spike to punch the eyes and the scraper, which worked suprisingly well. I am going to do Brook's tonight since she left town for the weekend and unwisely left her whole, uncarved, blank punkin on the front porch. :eek1: mwahahaha!!!!

Do you have the original picture that you can upload somewhere for download?, Also get a pic of Brook's pumpkin.

 

[ouspeedbump]

will do. by original picture do you mean pattern, or one of the pumpkin in regular light?

Here is the seahorse pumpkin by itself

and here are both together

They each took about 2 hours while watching tv. Multi-tasking! hehehe

 

[ouspeedbump]

can't tell from the pics, but the blob on the upper right of the seahorse pumpkin is a pipefish... bad angle.

Actually, Brook and Chris will be coming back by Ardmore tomorrow evening. Why don't you hook up with them and have them bring it up to Brook. Also, I might send something back to Ardmore to my wife with Brook and Chris, so you could probably drop it off at my house for pickup by them there, eh?

No I mean a higher quality pic of it like what most people have before posting it on the forum.

That way if someone wanted a halloween desktop image that was still fishy they could use that pic.

Those are really cool.
