Pumpkin high jinks

First you get a pumpkin - orange preferably, and on the biggish side.

Materials are assembled by the artist.  Newspaper to cover the table, pens to outline the design, sharp knives to cut with.

The top is removed and the design started.

Seeds scooped out and saved for roasting

Careful thought given to a face, after all a serious jack-o-lantern should be fairly scary.

And should have personality too. 

Nearly ready to go to work now

And here is the former pumpkin, now a truly scary Jack O" Lantern to put on the front step and light the way to the door.
