Halloween Trends - Carved Pumpkins
Halloween is carved pumpkin time, and here are a few carved pumpkin ideas to get your creative juices flowing. The first photo above is of course a bunch of them from Harry Potter, and some of them are really difficult to do.
For example, notice the hat. When you look at the various shadow in the hat, how that’s done is layers of pumpkin are carved or peeled at different levels, so when the light shines through it casts forth different degrees of shadow like you see in the hat. Very cool.
The carved pumpkin spider and spider web below is very different from the ones above, and is much more detailed and difficult to do than the others, as the numerous lines are hard to do without breaking it to pieces with the thin pieces.
