At Home with the Artist: Pumpkin Carving Party!

One of my favorite yearly traditions with my art teacher ladies is our pumpkin carving party. We plan it months in advance, look up patterns, pictures and ideas, and bring lots of food! We stay all day, drink and eat and watch scary movies. This last bit is my least favorite, but it's still great fun with great company. Here's what we did this year:

The ghost pull-apart cupcake cake that I made

All those pumpkins waiting to be carved!

  

My friend Monica always does a zentangle-ish design!

My other friend did a series of Harry Potter inspired pumpkins.

My first one was this adorable owl.

Here's what he looks like lit up!

In honor of all the Pokemon this year, I did a Bulbasaur!

Here are both of mine together!

All the sleepy doggies! They got tuckered out from all the carving!

That's my cute husband finally carving his pumpkin!

If any of you recognize this, it's a paladin symbol from World of Warcraft, pretty cool!
