Hullo... tomorrow is Halloween and I thought I would carve a pumpkin... for Jerry & Ben's Halloween Contest of course!
Step 1 - get pumpkin and lay tarp on floor...
Step 2 - gather pumpkin dissection tools...
We used to have a pumpkin carving kit with very fine blades/saws but... they broke a few years ago... so we using a selection of knives today.
Step 3 - Decapitate the pumpkin...
Step 4 - Disembowel the pumpkin...
Ummm... I think I'll let my assistant Igor take care of the disemboweling... it's a messy job.
There we are... we are going to save some the seeds for planting next year... you never know... they might be viable seeds.
Yup, it is disemboweled...
Now... a blade... I need a blade...
Step 5 - Begin to carve the pumpkin face... first... an eye...
We are free-pawing the carving this year...
And... decided that it needed a third eye... cause it's a Triclops Pumpkin!
Step 6 - find a tealight and...
It's alive!!!!
Ahhhh... it's really alive.... let me go!!!
Run... quick... ruunnnnnnnn!!!!
Aaaaaaaagh! Wow, that thing is super scary. Nicely done!
