carving it up

Alright, I have  a confession -- I am a horrible pumpkin carver. I honestly get stressed when I have to pick up a knife and carve out a spooky face, even if just the classic triangle eyes.  Last year I went to a friends for a pumpkin carving party and was the first one to finish, as I took about 10 slices with my wustof and called it a night. This year I decide to get over my fear and aim high. I decided to carve a pumpkin inspired by this new and amazing wall covering from Phillip Jeffries..

It took about three exhausting but enjoyable hours...

And the result was surprisingly but perfectly spooky.
