One of my totally strange and 'different' hobbies I enjoy doing.

I carve extremely detailed halloween pumpkins. I initially use to carve on real ones, but seeing all that work rot and die in two days after carving lead me to convert to carving foam ones.

Most would never know they arent real without touching them, they are that lifelike. Plus, it allows me to carve year around and put a ton of detail in them.

I do not create my own patterns, but go to probably the best site on the internet and get patterns I like there (www.stoneykins.com), and there are TONS.

Anyway, here are this years. I'm really happy with how they turned out. Trust me...not the typical 'triange eyes and nose' for sure.
