Changed My Mind

When I went to clean out the pumpkins to get them prepped for carving, I caved and decided to just carve mine as well. It is far from the cleanest one I’ve ever done, but I’m still pleased with the result.

The pumpkin wasn’t the best for the idea because it was pretty lopsided, but I didn’t really care. It was more just to see if I could pull the idea off.

I’ve used various tools in the past to carve, including a Dremel tool, but that has always been for when I was doing more sculpting. I decided to play with an actual drill and it is my new favorite pumpkin carving tool next to my Dremel.

BG will be dressing as a creepy music box dancer so her pumpkin is a pair of pointe shoes.

That is 100% here. The only thing I did on it was clean it out before and after carving. Not too shabby for someone who wasn’t even going to do one this year.

I have more hobbies than I can count, so it is beyond shocking that I manage to find time to do any of them, let alone most of them and still have time to do anything else. Of all the talents I claim, writing wasn’t one of them until my muse dropped the idea for a book on my head. View all posts by TJ Fox
