Red Autumn Fair - Pumpkin carving

[Torrie]

No Autumn fair is complete without pumpkins. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bread. You name it, and if it has to do with pumpkins it's out there.

 

This year we have a pumpkin carving area. Carve a pumpkin and show us what you have made!

Enjoy!

[Senexx]

Do we just post a link?

[Minuet]

No you carve a pumpkin and then post it here. So, have fun carving and post it!! Hope to it!!!

 

 

Sorry Reds, I just couldn't resist.

How do you save the image? I tried to print it and the page went belly up on me! T__T

[Senexx]

As best as I can tell you can't save the image from that site, you can only post a link.

 

Unless the dear Reds wish us to Print Screen it, then edit the picture so only the pumpkin is showing then upload it.

I just tried but can't see how to do it either. http://www.theoworlds.com/halloween/index.php?CardID=197502

 

Maybe Torrie has some tips :)

[Elgee]

Did a test - let's see if i remember all the steps and got it right:

 

1. Make your pumpkin

2. Select print (somewhere on the left bottom) [either print to file, print and scan, or whatever options are available to you. i picked:)

3. Send to a pdf file

4. Open the pdf file and select as much of the pic as you want

5. Save that in paint (and resize to web large if you can! lol ... that came out as 3mb)

6. Upload to photobucket or something

7. insert image here

[Torrie]

Thanks guys. I don't remeber it being that difficult when I did it.

 

 

Love the pumpkins! Now I want to run to the pumpkin patch and make a real one.

[Senexx]

Just checking my pumpkin still exists as I saw on the Bug board that some were having trouble with "insert images". Ta.

[Senexx]

Can we carve more than one?

[Egwene Aes Sedai]

ok mine didnt work as well as yours but i made a pumkin

[Torrie]

Feel free to make as many pumpkins as you like!

 

Egwene, I can see it and think it is the cutest.

[Mystica]

these are really cool!

[Senexx]

Being a non-pumpkin carver in reality, carving a pumpkin to how you want it to look is much harder than it looks.

[Torrie]

That pumpkin is great, Senexx! You must have a steady hand!

 

Last day everyone! Get your carvings while they last!

[Senexx]

Not really. I tried a few others that didn't work out.

 

It is definitely a special ability to carve a pumpkin because it is the parts you want to leave that are important, not the parts you want to cut out. The pumpkin would be rather bland if I tried to carve out the image I've left (and that's exactly what I did several times - lol)

[Egwene Aes Sedai]

I carved three pumpkins last night in RL I am very proud of them, but carving is harder than it looks!

Took me awhile to get all the seeds and mash out of him and then even longer to design his face....all I can say is that its not a clean job.

[Minuet]

Okay, here goes. Hope you can see it well enough. Sorry no decorations around it or anything.

 

 

[Torrie]

That is lovely, Min! I cannot let my kids see it, they will want theirs done like that and I'm not sure if I'm that good.
