Hey, I tried carving a tiki last night and I was pleasantly suprised with the out come. I too used one of the colour changing lights on it, The only Melon I had carved before was a self portrait (which is now my new Avatar) Which turned out ok too. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j183/jimbody8/tik...

Didn't you say you were going to do a frank costume for your next halloween party? My friend Dave the Glass went as Frank and a couple of years ago and won the best costume prize. He made this all from scratch, honest, the only thing he used was some mirrored eyes from a rubber alien mask the he 'po...

Cool aren't they, saw them in a magazine last week and went hunting on the web for an image to put on the forum. Apparently they grow them in cube glass jars and the cost a small fortune, like $72 or the equivalent yen. Thats like £45!!! :shock: :!: The reasoning for them is storage and stacking. Oh...

Dan Hey Mesmark, You could ask Ryan nicely and he could maybe do a Chinese Dragon or something, In fact he could do a kind of round the world melon/pumpkin pattern section. just an idea. Alternatively you could carve them on these melons: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j183/jimbody8/melon06.jpg h...

I'm sure me and Sodajazz are over it now, it took a long time but I've finally got closure, Lol!

Dan

Ryan, You da man! Again I'm not an American, infact I'm English and you guys are celebrating a victory over us but hey, everyones cool with that. Happy Forth of July, hope you guys have a great day, the Uncle Sam stencil rocks, shame we dont have a patriotic icons in this country with such cool faci...

It might be better Mister_JP if you avoid the show altogether, 'cos once its got you, its got you. :shock: I'm not usually into big US show, I never got into 24, probably cos its not something you can pick up mid season, but Lost had me from day one. The only other show thats confused me this much i...

Ryan, :x We've had words about this before!! No spoilers please!! Or the hatch in my brain will release the Others on you :shock: !! Lol. Oh, theres a thought, the zombie pumpkins v the otheres. Who'd win? :lol: Lost's kind Holloweenee, it scares my godson and theres monsters and polar bears in it. ...

Okay it had to be said at some point so I guesse I'm nominating myself to say it. With the whole world going Lost crazy, why not do a few of the main characters like Jack, Kate, Locke and Sawyer? Just a thought. Oh and I'm British so non of you Yanks post any spoilers as season 2 has only just start...

Hey I love your costume, looks amazing! Where did you get that hat from? And What did you make the mask from?

Dan

Oh is it something to do with the amounts of posts you put on???

Dan

What are all these seed sprout thingys anyway? am I missing something?

Dan

Cheers sodajazz, I'm not 100% computer literate so any tips are good. Have you got a party all sorted now?

Dan

No worries Dragon glad I could help. Some people use pumpkins as the head of the straw guy that they throw on the bonfire. I always think its good to learn abit more about traditions from other lands, Unfortunatley as you can tell by the posts, Halloween is still very much a US tradition.... but one...

I'd be supprised if you did if your American. Its a celebration of the fact that about 350 years ago there was a foiled plot to blow up the Houses of Parliment in England. There was something like 300 barrels of gunpowder under the buildings and the guards found a man with a fuse ready to light it, ...
