Ok , while waiting for freaking youtube to get my video loaded, I decided to go ahead and do pictures...yet again (this totally bites).


Frankenstein. Should look a bit familiar from a few years ago. I did two of them for some relatives this year




Another repeat from the past, but one that was a customer carve




One of two I did for my local Childrens Hospital here in Kansas City




Second one for Childrens Hospital




A 'vampire' type of carve.




For my two daughters Dance School teacher




Did two of these, one for me, one for a buddy




Gargoyle-ended up liking this alot more than I expected. I need to do another so I can set them on both sides of the sidewalk.




A new Doc Holiday to replace the one I sold



Adding more in next post.

 

Part 2


Dracula carve for a customer



Michael Meyers for a customer




Jason for a customer




One of my personal favorites this year. London After Midnight. The green makes this one.




More detailed version of Frankenstein. Picture does it no justice...Its much better in person.




Batman


Part 3 incoming.

 

Prolly my favorite 4 of this season:



Elvis-the one that got in Rolling Stone Online. Did this for my mom who is a HUGE Elvis fan.




Spiderman In The Rain-Love the emotion it evokes (IMO)




Hooded Skull



A second Darth Vader. I saw this pattern first, but decided it wasnt as good. I looked at it again a few weeks ago and decided it was better than I initially thought so I gave it a try. I friggin LOVE it.


In addition to these, I got two older carves and one from this year added to rolling stone magazine online:

Awesome job on those pumpkins!!

 

+1 Very nice I wish I had that kind of talent.

 

Wow those are simply amazing.

If you could figure out a way to ship them I bet you could make a killing.

I know I would buy some. My kids would love those.

 

Thanks guys.

They're made of foam...shipping is as easy as putting in a box. I've been shipping them around the U.S. for a few years now.

Well do you have a website or something? How do we get them?

 

Actually, I'm in the process of getting one set up. I own the domain: www.thegourdsgonewild.com already and someone is suppose to be working on having it up and running here in hopefully a week or so.


If any of you saw something you might be interested in or have a subject you might like to have made into a pumpkin, please feel free to send me an email at: gonewild@kc.rr.com


Pricing will depend on the intricacy of the needed carve (time spent) plus the initial cost of materials ($20 for the foam pumpkin I get at Michaels arts and crafts store).



The best part is still the fact that these pumpkins last forever as long as you take care of them so in my mind (and those of the people who've already purchased some from me) they are worth it.

Here is one of my favorites. I actually did these last year...

 

When you get it up and running send me a PM. I will definately want to get some of those for next halloween.

Good luck on your new business.
