More Incredible Carvings!

Our lil' and not so lil' carvers this year have done some amazing pumpkins and I'm super excited to share these with you! Once again they show great progress and emerging knife skills as their terrified parents let them play with knives just once a year!

2024 Predator pumpkins

Image
Hello carvers and judges!  Some more beautiful looking pumpkins this year. Hope none of these creatures came knocking on your door for halloween... I learned a lesson this year - when buying pumpkins always give them a shake first. When I cut the top off mine it was half full of water/liquified pumpkin guts. Gross. Thankfully you couldn't see from the outside that I had gotten hold of a swamp pumpkin but it sure didn't smell the best when I was carving it..  Enough of my chatter. Scroll down for what you really came for :)  Pumpkin A: En isbjørn som har fanget en fisk.    Pumpkin B: en Løve med blodig tænder og en stor manke. Pumpkin C: Trick or mouse. Pumpkin D: The Eagle and The Rabbit. Pumpkin E: Axolotl. Pumpkin F: Pumpkin-eating-pumpkin-eating-pumpkin. Pumpkin G: Pumpkin Predator. Pumpkin H: Dog pumpkin. Pumpkin I: Owl. Pumpkin J: Tiger. Pumpkin K: You are tasty Tweetie Pie! Burp... Pumpkin L (left): King of the jungle Pumpkin M (right): Star Pumpkin P...

2024 Theme

 Hope everyone is having a wonderful October and is set for the pumpkin carving season! The slugs ate all my pumpkin plants this year so I actually had to buy some pumpkins :( Turns out you should do that earlier rather than later in October because the choices left now are looking a little beaten up hey, you shouldn't be able to tell in a dark picture. The theme this year is Predator Pumpkins so roll up your sleeves and get carving! As always, one pumpkin per entry no limitations on carving tools toothpicks are allowed but no other props send me or Janice one picture of your pumpkin and your title by midnight on halloween (e-mail please) Have fun and stay safe ;)

The votes are counted...

 Hi all,  Well, they say third time's a charm. Perhaps the third time I sit down to post the winners I will actually get it done! Here's to hoping, because not sure about yours, but the pumpkins carved in this house are oozing on our compost pile and well on their way to being food for next year's pumpkins so it's time to get this wrapped up.  Just to revisit the scoring - the judges all choose their top 3 picks. A 1st place vote gives 10 points, a 2nd place vote 7 points and a 3rd place vote 5 points. This year we had 8 judges and for the first time ever 7 of them agreed on the first place. As far as I can remember that has never happened. I have a funny feeling I am going to get accused of rigging the competition or paying off the judges but I claim innocence!!  The podium has some well known names this year (Congrats guys!!) but what excites me most is the 4th-6th places. The Turnbulls have some up and coming carvers to watch out for...  Thanks to all the car...
