300 - Halloween 2009

Okay, so this 300 scene was a surprise I threw in for the wife... I knew she had trouble deciding, and this pattern was just so kick-azz!! It turned out really well I think.

And for the Lovely Wife... Labyrinth - Halloween 2009

The wife had to request a pattern where I actually had to create the pattern myself... she loves to challenge me, right?! This scene is from a promotional from the 80s Jim Henson fantasy 'Labyrinth'. Gotta please the wife!

Everybody Loves Snoopy - Halloween 2009

Who doesn't think of Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang on Halloween? I picked this cute cut-out of Snoopy valiantly fighting the Red Baron for the baby of the family.

The Fairy - Halloween 2009

This intricate 'butterfly' fairy pattern was requested by the 4 year old & she just loves it! Combination of cut-out and shading techniques. This one left my hand sore for about a week!!

Captain America - First Carving of the 2009 Season!

This was the first carving I did this year. It was also the first attempt to do a pattern in the 'faux' pumpkins that you can buy from a local crafts store. Captain America with his shield seemed like a cool one to start with!

Thanks for looking!

The Psycho Carver Featured at Moondollars Cafe

I donated our "My Neighbor Totoro" themed pumpkin to the Moondollars Cafe for their All Hallows Eve celebration tonight at Jackson Square in Oak Ridge.

This one took 4 hours or more from conception to completion, and is the family favorite. I am particularly proud of this one, I drew the pattern by hand from a scene from the movie, and changed the composition a bit to my liking and to best fit this pumpkin. A lot of work into this one. We're going to miss it in our line-up... but there's more to come. I am working on another one tonight, so stay tuned.

Thanks to Chris and Kelly Ayers over at Moondollars for displaying Totoro tonight. Hope you and your guests enjoy!
