October 2019 - Pumpkin Carving

This year the pumpkin we bought had a mark on it that I thought looked like a dragon's eye so I thought I would try doing Dragon (from Shrek) but the size/position which I had done the template didn't really fit on the pumpkin we had.

So I thought for a while about other dragons I could use and eventually decided to use Sapphira (from Eragon). However, I couldn't find an image of Sapphira in the position I would need to match up with the "eye" already on the pumpkin. So… I free-handed it! This was kind of terrifying but quite a good challenge too. And if that wasn't challenge enough, I also decided to make the design go all the way round the pumpkin!

Without further ado, this was our 2019 pumpkin...

I think this turned out quite well, considering that I didn't use a proper template.

Please leave a comment below if you have any suggestion for future pumpkins or if you'd like to share what you did for your pumpkin...
