Post a picture of a jack-o-lantern you carved or a pumpkin farm you have been to! :D

Here's a few of mine:

a farm I carved at last year - 100 pumpkins in 4 weekends.

The last one I just carved for an online tutor on my site.
"How to carve a foam pumpkin"

There's other tutors - that take you through the whole process.

I see people post there jack-o-lanterns but everytime I try to get people to post there graveyards or yard haunts no one does.

Here's the pumpkin I carved for Halloween 2006. We only had one, but I carved two faces onto it.

This is one of those tiny 'pumpkins' that you get in the grocery store. probably no more than 3 inches across.

They are super tough skinned so be careful if you try to carve one. On the other hand they last for weeks after carving.

Great pumpkins people!! :mrgreen: Ooga Booga, If you put your Halloween jack o lantern with 2 faces against the wall in a dark room the face on the back of the pumpkin will appear on the wall when lit. I never tried this but I read it on the Big Scream TV website.

How on earth did you manage to carve that little sucker?

I don't know. My mom bought it from Costco just like that, pre-carved and with a light bulb inside.

I used a super thin fish boning knife. It's no longer than 3 inches and 1/4 inch at it's widest.

Like I said, be careful these little things are tough as boot leather.

The cool thing is as they age they dry out like leather, so they last and last and last...
