My Jack-o-lantern


My company was having a pumpkin carving competition. It was my first year there, but I decided to enter. This was the result. I got a large pumpkin and shaved almost the entire rind off of it using a microplane. It took quite a while. Then using a grapefruit spoon and paring knife, I carved the rest of the details. I think I used a regular spoon for the smoothing. I was thrilled with the result since I had never done a pumpkin this detailed and ambitious before. This took me a few hours to carve. Some of the depth and detail doesn't come out in the picture, but it's a pretty good representation. I won the contest, so it made it all worthwhile.
