Great carves Jack! Any more? I love your multiple pattern carves.

Thanks everyone!

I have one last set of carves planned for the year. I'm planning to carve a pair of medium foamies with ZPs Anna and Elsa for a Frozen themed Birthday party on Friday. I should have them finished later tonight, will post pictures when I have the time.

Here they are,



I'd thought about putting both patterns on a single medium foamy, but decided to separate them. I'm glad I did because I feel they look better this way.

Also, my pair of OB Ghostbuster carves can be seen photo-bombing in the background.

Well I guess that's it until next year folks. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

Jack, your carves come out so clean - amaazing really - what do you carve with?

[Jack Carving]

My current tool kit
A Versa-Tool with the hot blade attachment
A few Pumpkin Masters carving blades for clean up work on too narrow of cuts
A few different sized drill bits for smoothing out rounded areas by hand
A lot of Patience*

*Seriously, it usually takes me 2 to 3 hours to complete a 13" foamy from start to finish. That includes transfer time and st0ney's soak method for removing the remaining glued printer stock. Elsa and Anna took just under 4 hours to complete.

I'm not very time efficient, I suppose... hehe

Thanks for the reply and the inquiry.
