LOL...good looking jack-o-lantern.
BTW, you look like you're enjoying the hell out of carving that one in the third pic. You know you don't get dog tags for that, right?

Those are pretty slick from what I can see. Would it be too much trouble to ask for a close up on the one far left and the one on the far right?

Do you spray the outside or outside & inside? How do you preserve the inside?

Since it's flammable, I wouldn't suggest spraying the inside.

Yeah, it was weak, but it was quick and easy, and fulfilled my quota.
Think that's the same stuff my wife's friend uses.

Haven't done any just yet. The twins are teenagers now, and they're not overly interested in Halloween right now. Our 4 year-old is more interested in her costume and the candy. Can't blame her on the latter part. :cool:

High powered bullets work great if you're looking for something easy.

Eddie Van Halen Pumpkin!
OCTOBER 30, 2012
It’s this time of year again! Here’s some Van Halenized pumpkins emailed to us from readers. Our favorite is the one which features Eddie Van Halen, above (Yes, it’s REAL, not photoshopped!). It was made by Dave Bedford, who writes, “As Eddie is my guitar hero, I decided to take a stab at creating and carving him onto a pumpkin for Hallowe’en. The guitar didn’t come out as precisely as I had hoped, but overall, I was pleased with the results. You can certainly tell that it is Eddie!”

I was watching this guy on tv put shelving all over his house and cover it in about 3000 carved pumpkins. They used bleach water to keep them from going bad. I did jack skellington cause my neice chose it. I freehanded and the face is small on a big pumpkin. wasted most of the space i could have used. I dont have pictures though
I do have pictures of my girlfiends nails though. I did them for halloween for her free hand. After the halloween one wore off I did Ms. Pacman428542864284
