Hi, Eric - Just to add to my earlier post - I am sort of assuming when you say "router" that it's probably actually a Dremel-type rotary tool -- that's what I use and what most of the carvers here use to shade... not tryng to split hairs on it, but I just wanted to make sure it was clear what I was ...

Eric - I hope others see this, because there are many other carvers here who are much more experienced with foamies than I am.... but it's the off-season and activity is slow, so I'll just put in my two cents... When I carve the foam 'kins (and even on reals), I usually remove the paint and shade th...

Thanks, Ryan - Yes, I did get the Jareth pattern that was on FB and love it! A Bowie the musician would be incredibly awesome!

I couldn't agree more! We lost another Rock icon this week -- RIP... From the ZP! FB page, it looks like there was a Bowie pattern at one time - perhaps a VIP pattern that I missed...? I would love to add this pattern to my Patch.

Oh, my! Those are all great! I absolutely love the Raven Earrings! I used to make jewelry, too, and it's funny -- the thought never crossed my mind (duh!). Those measuring cups are simply the coolest. Nice haul! Merry Christmas (belated)!

I forgot to mention - I like the 23-LED bases you used for lighting. I saw some like them on 100candles.com, but was skeptical about them. They look nice; I think they'd be great for a walkway/driveway display. Just wish I could find one that rotates for two-sided carves - the Pumpkin Masters base I...

Nice work on the designs and carving. That pumpkin looks a bit squatty, so the size must've been even more of a challenge. It looks great! I've been playing with double-side designs on some of my foamies (mostly off-season: double the carves, for half the price), but I really like the idea of a thre...

Really, nice work! What a great theme for a wedding My wedding anniversary is also early November, and if I could do it over (after 20+ years! haha!) I would do the same. Well done - hope to see more of your work.

I really like this pattern, and how it turned out on the Christmas ball! I'm gonna have to git me an another ball for this one

That looks really pretty on that ornament ball! Your carves are always so sharp and clean - always amazing work!

I wasn't sure where to put this - either carving photos or the Christmas balls, so Ryan feel free to move it. I have to say I LOVED carving this Christmas ball. It was so easy, and needed very little "clean up" with the diamond bit. I echo Ryan's comments about the paint. I outlined with a fresh exa...

Thank you, St0ney! I was just on their site this weekend and only saw the green color -- I am heading back to buy the red. I hope people post pictures of their carves on these balls... I am really excited about them, and am so glad to hear they carve like the regular foam pumpkins.

Really great display!

Wow! Truly awesome display! Thanks for posting -- out where I am, we rarely have ToT-ers - and it's so refreshing to see such a great display!

Oh, my, those are all truly amazing! I can't even imagine tackling those minions!
