2010 was a great year. (PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Free Pumpkin Carving Patterns: I made patterns for many (but not all) of the pumpkins I carved.  For those other than Disney Patterns, I have posted them below with the picture.  Feel free to use these for your pumpkin carving.  As long as you aren't using them for mass production, I have no problem with you using the pattern to sell the pumpkins.  But if you do use the patterns to sell pumpkins on Ebay or another website, please give me credit for the pattern, along with a link here. Because Disney sues people who put their pumpkin patterns online, I can't post the Disney patterns I created here.

Star Wars: R2D2, the Millennium Falcon & Darth Vader

I saw this pumpkin and "knew" I needed to make it into R2D2. R2D2 had over 10,000 links on the internet 2 days after carving it. Andy Carvin from NPR picked up from my twitter streem, and then Gizmodo and Craft.com quickly followed.

I used parts of a dying pumpkin to make the scopes and external legs w/ carved sockets that went inside R2 - this allowed the light from the candle to go through the leg pieces. I used modeling clay to attach the scopes to R2.




The Millennium Falcon was like the real one in that I kept saying, "Common baby, hold together!" I scraped too much from the top, so I had to use toothpicks to keep parts of it propped up. You can see my model I used as a starting point.


My son, Justin carved Darth Vader.



 

Star Trek: The Borg Ship and Locutus of Borg

I've looked for a square pumpkin for many years now - I found as close as I'm likely to get. This my attempt at the Borg Cube. I used green LEDs that I stuck on the inside of the pumpkin using modeling clay.

Locutus of Borg was almost a complete freehand. I did have a movie picture to start with.




 

Dragon and Castle

One of my favorite pumpkin carves ever, I did this freehand. I just followed the contours of a very round 80lb+ pumpkin.  Because of the roundness, I need multiple pictures to show the whole thing.


 

Hellraiser's Pinhead

My sculpting of Hellraiser's Pinhead turned out great.  I used lightbrite like things to mimic the nails. These picked up the internal light source wonderfully!

The Monsters

World of Warcraft Orc Sculpt

I had a fun time carving a sculpt of a World of Warcraft Orc Grunt. His teeth were especially fun. Unfortunately, I'm so slow on my carving of these that by the end the pumpkin started getting VERY stringy. Still, I think it turned out OK.

Mickey Pirate, UP, Cat In the Hat

I love the way my wife's Mickey Pirate came out! She also did UP and a wonderful Cat in the Hat.

     

Sponge Bob, Scooby & Elmo

Sponge Bob and Scooby are both MUST CARVES, as the little kids just love them. Elmo, while not quite at that level is close.

 
Helly Kitty, Ginea Pig, & Barney

My daughter did a bunch more here - Hello Kitty, Barney and the Ginea Pig guy from that really aweful kids movie.


Hand Cut Butterly

My nephew, Joseph, did a great hand-cut butterfly. He pretty much winged it.
