Halloween is just a few weeks away, so if you are one of those people (I am!) who carve a pumpkin, you better start thinking of what design you are going to do. Carving a pumpkin is tedious, time-consuming, and messy. Nonetheless, I think it is totally worth it when you are done, put a candle inside, and see how cool you made a boring pumpkin look.
If you like to use patterns when carving your pumpkin, this site has some neat (and free!) patterns for all skill levels.
You might find some inspiration from these awesome jack-o-lanterns. I can't say that I have carved pumpkins as creative as some of these....yet! Maybe this year!
Here are four fabulous Flickr finds.
1. Smiley Pumpkin
This looks awesome even when it isn't lit up!
2. Ampersand Pumpkin
It is such a simple design, but I've never seen an ampersand carved into a pumpkin, so that's cool.
3. Winking Pumpkin
I don't know exactly what/who this is supposed to be, but it reminds me of a Gorillaz character.
4. Bricks Pumpkin
When I look at this jack-o-lantern, I think bricks, disco ball, windows, and awesome. Carving out all of those "bricks" and cutting off the outer part of the top and bottom would take a lot of time, but look how unique it is!
