#todaysharvest #pumpkins #spaghettisquash. Probably all too early, but some jerk kid stole one of the pumpkins and smashed it today, so didn’t want to risk any more.

Day After Detail

Here’s what it looks like with no candle and the lid on.

The Jack-o’s

Robin’s Finished Product

Nice and bright, and her candle doesn’t go out when you put the lid on (cause lots of air can get in)

My Finished Product

I could have carved everything a bit deeper to make it light up better, but I’m pretty happy with this for a first-ever pumpkin carving!

Get Your Shave One

Slicing out and digging into the face to make it deeper (and thus brighter)

Preview

I would hold it up under a light above my stove to get a preview of how the light was working. This was originally where I was going to stop.

Carving In Action

I was originally going to carve outlines only, but then realized I needed to shave the skin off to get things to light up properly, so had to keep going.

Template Lines

Here’s what it looked like after I traced, then took off the template.

Mr. Triangle Eyes

Robin opted for a more traditional one, with cut out eyes, mouth etc. She also added ears which were pretty fancy.
