When I first started carving pumpkins I gave just about every pumpkin that I had created away. I gave pumpkins away to my parents, people at the office, neighbors, nieces and nephews, and my wife's work. I was a modern day pumpkin slayer and having a blast doing it. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE absolutely without a shadow of doubt LOVED the pumpkins! You would have thought I was giving away money with the reactions I received.

Pumpkin Sculpting<b/>

Unlike traditional pumpkin carvings, pumpkin sculptures add uniqueness to the Halloween season that is rarely seen. Pumpkin sculpting is the art of sculpting an image out of a pumpkin. Whether the image is a person, object or some random design the pumpkin sculptures create a work of art that has to be believed.

The process of sculpting pumpkins is very similar to carving designs out of wood. The image is first blocked out and then carved away to create very beautiful and amazing designs and patterns. The artist uses clay loop tools, which are the same tools used to sculpt with clay, to carefully carve the design into the pumpkin. The flesh of the pumpkin is also easy to carve which allows the sculptor to create a beautiful work of art in very little time.

Another great aspect about pumpkin sculptures is that they look just incredible whether the lights are on or off. In fact, they are actually more of a work of art instead of an old plain pumpkin carving. The best part about pumpkin sculpting is that anyone can learn to do it. Although skill levels will vary, with the right instruction anyone can learn to sculpt beautiful pumpkins.
