Cream of the Crop 2003:
CoBi

CoBi took the title this year with some of the cleanest carvings of the season, including a very detailed Jack Sparrow design. And all of these pumpkins have such unique textures. They must grow some strange breeds of Zombie Pumpkins over in Germany.

"Here are my five pumpkins for your carving contest. Well technically there are only three pumpkins but the second one was so big, I used three stencils on it."

"Pumpkin King, just for warm-up."

"Old Hag, perfect match for the surface of the pumpkin."

"Slimer, his head is kind of - erm - different."

"Jack Skellington, there was some need for a simpler stencil."

"Jack Sparrow, a present for a friend and therefore extra well done."

"I have to thank you very much for your stencils, because I only made these pumpkins to try it out. (I'm no real fan of Halloween). It was fun and now I'm sick of pumpkins for at least three months."
