Oh wow! An Alice Cooper Pumpkin! That's beautiful! The BEST! (When I was a kid we were actually afraid to listen to Alice Cooper albums because we thought he was a real witch!)

here are some results of the pumpkin carving contest at the Puka bar here in Long Bch CA....
I was a judge and my two pumpkins where not judged
the nice palms and Moai were the owner's hand at carving, and the second from the left was the winner.

Oh MAN - carving is tough! tooled around with a few pumpkins this afternoon:
I just can't wrap my brain around this whole subtractive sculpture concept! I am too spoiled by the clay - I kept wanting to make a paste out of my pumpkin shavings and add on a bit of detail here, a bit more on the nose there...
raining cats and dogs over here - I'll be lucky if we get 1 trick or treater. Lame! I spent all day setting up!

It only took about 2 hours and a 1/2, so it wasn't that bad,
it's also good training for the reel thing.

O.K. ... So it looks more like a dentally challenged Indian. That's what I get for using one of those patterns.
At least the kitty's came out looking like....kitties.
