Hah! Thanks… I think?! We’ve been doing it for a few years now, so the practice begins to build up and we get a little better each year. No clue what next year will bring though.

Here’s our submission from last year (which it turns out a few others around the world did something similar last year too):

Ahhh, the wonder of utility blades, Xacto knives, and wooden skewers. The windows actually weren’t too tricky – carving out pieces of foundation that would act as a reliable foundation for over 24 hours (pumpkin begins to degrade super fast) was more of a brain buster. The detail elements are the work of a sharp Xacto blade over a few hours… which is more of an act of discipline and a steady hand rather than technical skill. Next year we’re hoping to venture further into the world of pumpkin “sculpture” if we can find a solid concept that’ll make us try it.

Oh man, that’s awesome!

This is the first year I really carved a pumpkin. I did it once when I was younger but I busted out a jig saw and obliterated it, lol. Anyway, here’s mine and my gf’s – http://bit.ly/2mmCUp

haha, pretty simple but maybe next year I’ll get into it more and do something more creative.
