These are our last two - dd took over carving, think she was getting fed up of my cats and the memorable year I had to do a pirate and put on eye patch on when the knife slipped.....

Dd started doing them when she was 13, she looks for templates and transfers them then uses her scalpel (we papercut for a hobby). When they are unlit they look so odd, but lit they’re beautiful

Well kudos to your dd Foslady

It has certainly paid off

Friend is bringing a pumpkin to mine later.

If you scoop from the bottom it won't collapse in on itself!

Foslady · 30/10/2018 20:06

This year’s offering!
