Hey all,
Tomorrow is the big day. Halloween. Is any one carving pumpkins this year? Dressing up? How about carvings like these that I've done:
Jack Skellington
Oogie Boogie (G/F did this one)
Iron Man
Snow White (She did this as well)
Finally, POTC Jolly Roger:
That isn't all. Because tonight, the masterpiece will be created in what I've dubbed Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Orange Pearl.
For this years costume, I've debuted my Harry Dresden outfit.

These are great!
I have 3 pumpkins sitting in my kitchen waiting to be carved but a head cold is keeping me from playing with sharp objects. Maybe tomorrow....
Time for more NyQuil and back to bed.

Indy, these carvings are The BEST I have ever seen! Really, they are. I could never even come close. The traditional Jack O Lantern is my speed.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL! :pumpkin: :witch:

Curse of the Orange Pearl stole the party tonight! I'll post pictures in a few hours once I sleep. I've got yet another party tonight with more carving. Orange Pearl was my final curtain for the season but I'm doing a special encore for a friend at her little get together. So I'll be doing an untitled Jack, Sally and Zero triple set.
For now, off to the late night double feature picture show. And sleep.

Whew. OK. So the Curse of the Orange Pearl was tiring, amazing, and won stole the night. Took six and a half hours to complete. Note. This monster of a pumpkin holds THREE carvings on just ONE Pumpkin.
Proof that Saral Paper is amazing. The beginnings of Jack Sparrow. On the left of the pumpkin
On the right of the pumpkin
Barbossa. A few bits didn't transfer (Hence the black lines), On the right of the pumpkin
Finally, in the Center of the pumpkin, The Black Pearl
Jack Sparrow completed. His goatee brades came off while I was cutting (That was the most difficult part of all three), but shockingly, Super Glue kept it on (And it's still on after many hours)
The Black Pearl completed. At the top, I started cutting part of the mast off then realized: Why in the heck am I worried? It's the Pearl, it's been to, well, Jones's locker and back, the more torn up it looks, the better. So that's the reason why parts don't look clean, went with the rugged look.
Finally, my favorite character, Barbossa.
