Pumpkin Carving Art

Oh, come on; you could have known this was on the agenda and would be posted on my blog, especially seeing the time of year! I am just teasing. If you knew then you were way ahead of me; I usually have no clue what the next hobby or craft will be.

I probably would have let the obvious slide by, were it not for the fact that my hubby stumbled across an article with some incredible carved pumpkin art. Everything happens for a reason, huh?!

Yes, we carve a pumpkin for Halloween, but it is certainly not as elaborate as these examples. They don't even come close and I have an enormous admiration for the result of these artists' hands.

From characters straight out of horror movies, to other famous fantastic figures and images; they are around.

I wonder if they sell pumpkin carving stencils for creating those images. That would make things a lot easier: put the stencil on the pumpkin, trace the image onto it and carve it out.

It does take a up a lot of time and patience though, but we still have 19 days to go until Halloween!
