I'm going to do about 18 this year, I find I can save time by pricking the images on the pumpkins a couple of nights before carving, I'm even going to see if I can get away with scooping out the guts the day before to save even more time. I'm guessing I'm going to get through plenty of petrolium jel...
I'm a england freak aswell. Wish Halloween wasn't just a kids thing over here! No one takes anyone who takes halloween serious well.....Serious over here!

I'm not sure about the white pumpkins being a different breed. I only have one and its very small. I'm too scarried to carve it cos I may never see another one! I know the crown prince variety is grey/blue looking and they're pumpkins but many others that look like pumpkins are infact squashes.

I have had problems getting the White variety of pumpkins here in the UK, If anyone has any ideas then let me know. ASDA were suposed to do them but I think the pulled them out of their stores for some reason. Is there some Pumpkin farm I could contact? I know I can get the seeds online but then I w...
Guys thatnk a million, The 3D TV idea from that site was just the kind of thing I was looking to do this halloween. So simple but effective, all I need now is an old TV!
Dan
Thank goodness, I've already done 8, and have taken phots of then on my phone, its just getting them off the damn thing and zipping them up and sending then that I'm having the problem with, I need a USB adaptor.

As i seem to be obsessed with white pumpkins shall I thow into the fray a ghots white one for next years Logo? I know its not very traditional but it would set it out from the others? I do think as the site mascotes they HAVE to be made into a stencil.
Dan

Dan

Dan

Dan
Hey, Ryan I know I've already asked you these ones but i thought I'd put it to the group, How about Eddie from Iron Maiden for the Rock Gods section? Oh and Freddie Mercury too? I also like the idea of Alec from a Clockwork Orange as I think that could be quite a striking stencil! I have to also tha...
Yeah, this has been rather a bone of contention for me as the saws we have in 'card' shops over here have silly saftey edges for kids. This means rounded edges and a rather irritated Dan! I did finally find a suitable carving kit in Morissons for a couple of quid. I usually uses a scaple first after...
I can see the appeal for doing a 3 tone pumpkin by taking the surface layer off, but aren't pumpkins abit too fleshy to use a dremel on? May see if I can get one sent over here though.
Dan
Yeah, I had to go on ebay and get those colour changing lights as they dont do then over here in the UK. I finally got them on saturday and they seem to work really well on simpler designs. They look really cool but I think I'll stick to candles for the intricate carvings. I like the idea of the bik...
Hi everyone! Wow, its great to see so many people into pumpkin carving, especially from the UK 8) ! I've been registered to this site for about 6 months now and I've been waiting ages for the Pumpkins to come out in the shops. I'm 24 and throw a huge Halloween party once a year, although this year i...
