Nice video, Tesa. Thanks for the link!
I know about these techniques. It's "somewhat" more difficult to carve out such a relief (3D) image but one can create some really cool effects with this technique!

Yes guys! More fun with colorful knifes!

Thank you so much, my dear!
And what a rich idea with your terrific pumpkins. Very good work
You'll never change, always surprising!
Ps : I missed you too!
Thank you so much for funny comment and kind words!
an oblivion-pumpkin .. what a great idea and really very well carved - hats off my friend
This year we bought and tried some special pumkin-carving-tools. With the small saws included in that set it is really easy (and a lot fun) to carve some more detailed patterns.
I'll send your nice comment to all participants!
PS. Wait for the glowing Nehrim symbol, next year! That will be cool! (The template is already cut out)
As for the "lifespan" of an carved pumpkin:
At first it depends on where you place your pumpkin (indoors in the warm or outdoors in moist weather). On the internet one can read about many different methods to preserve a carved pumpkin, f.e. here: http://www.myscienceproject.org/pumpkin.html
(also: some people say that it's better to soak them over night in the bathtube (a little disgusting - if you ask me!
In general it is said that (with a proper preservation) a carved pumpkin can survive for 3 weeks at longest.
We did none of these preservation-things and placed all of them indoors. From my experience I can say that in a normal (or slightly cooler) tempered room they tend to get moldy after about 3 to 5 days. After 1 and a half week they don't look that nice anymore and it's almost time to toss them out.
at least you've made some photos of that fantastic work
Happy Halloween!
The very first pumpkins we carved 2 weeks ago (which can be seen in the next to last image) are very moldy now, so yesterday we spontaneously decided to carve some new ones, because today we have a little Halloween-and-Birthday party.
Cheers!
PS. ...oh, and that little geezer spits (pukes) out some pumpkin seeds. We had collected and dried almost all of the seeds from the first pumpkins.
...well, actually this is Jack, from Tim Burton's "A nightmare before Christmas"...
the image series is absolutely fantastic
very nice funny pictures
well done my dear
also you a nice Halloween
Thank you very much for your kind words!
