This one broke my favorite pumpkin saw and took close to eight hours from the time I started gutting it to the time I stopped carving.

Fantastic lanterns again!!  :o :o ;D

WOW!!!  :o :o Those pumpkins look amazing!  :o  How in the world did you carve Mickey's eye's and not have them break?

Thanks! :D The insides of Mickey's eyes were the first parts I carved.  They definitely would have broken off if they were carved after the face was done.  I brought the pumpkins inside so we could enjoy them before the kids went to bed.  I was sooooo sad to see that they were all ready starting to shrivel and curl, and parts of the masts and sails on the ship are drooping. :'( The next time I decide to do a difficult pattern, it will be on an artificial pumpkin.  It's just too much work to have it last for less than 24 hours.

Cindy!!  :o Those are GREAT!! I LUUUV the pirate ship!!!  (:D#

I'm not being rude or anything but are your pumpkins in the US a different variety to ours or do you all have super strength and totally killer knives?

I've always been delighted if I can achieve 2 relatively straight eyes, a triangle for a nose and sharp teeth, but you all seem to be super-talented, patient and just all-round marvelous at Halloween :)

Nice one... (she says jealously!)

Super strength, totally killer knives ... and let's not forget intelligence, good looks, wit, and a hot bod! :rofl:

Must be it  :D
