Well tonight I had some time on my hands so I thought I would take a stab at doing another 3D pumpkin. Unlike last year when I was doing animals and creepy faces, this time I thought I would try a ladies face. Well needless to say I think I’ll stick to the more abstract characters. Her proportions are slightly off, but the important thing is you can tell it is a lady. Below I’ve included 3 progressive pictures of my lady pumpkin.

Day 27!
Tonight Lindsey came over for a Halloween evening. We started with a delicious dinner, followed by some pumpkin carving which was interrupted by home-made Caramel Apple making, then we returned finish our pumpkins of the evening. It was nice to have a carving companion on day 27, running low on juice! Almost there!
Lindsey’s pumpkin…
The Gorilla Grizzly
Today I stopped by Michael’s on my way home in search of some new carving tools. I have a great set of wood carving tools that are great for the 2D images, but when it comes to these 3D I have found that a simple pairing knife (only tool used for yesterday’s post) and basic clay carving tools work best. So I picked up a few new clay tools for tonight’s pumpkin. While at Michael’s I also saw those artificial pumpkins, I bought one to see how it compares to the real thing. I love the idea that it can last for a significantly longer period, but something about the smell and the texture of a real pumpkin is going to be hard to beat. Either way I will give it a try this weekend and report back
This was my attempt at creating a Grizzly bear, the final product ended more as a Gorilla crossed with a Grizzly. However all in all I was happy with the outcome.
Sculpted creature
Tonight I ventured into a new style of pumpkin carving. I have seen many amazing sculpted pumpkins, ones that I will never come near to. But I thought I would try one for myself. So tonight I took on this funny looking guy. It took me much longer then I had anticipated, however, in the end I am pretty happy about how he turned out.
