I have been back from camping for a couple of days now.. Let me tell you, camping in Northern Ontario, in a tent at the end of Oct is kind of nuts. It rained, hailed, snowed and was FREEZING all week
Since we've been back we have been trying to get some carves done and our victims have increased significantly, from 8 to 18.. whoops
so far 12 of the 18 are finished. I apologize for the lack of creativity with the photos
Here is the shot of the original 8
These were the first 2 carves of the season, done on foamies from Micheals - our first foam carves. I did Undead Ted and my boyfriend (Sean) did Grim Reaper
These were our first real pumpkins, we used Stick'n Carve for these 2
mine:
Sean:
So this little project started with 2 small oval pumpkins we found for 1$ each and couldn't pass up. Sean decided the minion pattern would be perfect for these kins' so we carved them up! Next thing you know - off to the patch for 4 more. I think they turned out great.
We started with the original pattern and then I tweaked it a little to get 5 variations. I really like the minion pattern and even though I reduced the size, they were still super quick and easy to carve - probably due to our new Pro Carving Kits
The originals:
All 6:
although I absolutely love the original pattern, my favorite variation ended up being the nerdy one with the parted hair - so cute.
We have only used the stick'n carve on the 2 pumpkins but hope to use some more in the near future. I like it, but its kind of a hassle on the smaller pieces. I felt as if it was melting away before I could finish my cuts and ended up guestimating on some it - seems like a typical complaint based on previous threads
Can't wait to carve more
