Halloween was uneventful, ghost-wise (thank goodness!)<BR/><BR/>Lady Banana: Thank you! I start with a drawing, transfer it by poking holes along the lines, remove the drawing, then carve it out using traditional carving tools and my portable Dremel. It is fun when it turns out!<BR/><BR/>JoJo: I LOVE roasted pumpkin seeds too... we had a lot this year from two pumpkins; I use sea salt and they are just addictive to nosh on.<BR/><BR/>Aw, Ann(ie), you're making me blush! THANKS!<BR/><BR/>Janet: Thank you! You know, one year I am going to do one of our cat's portraits, I think...<BR/><BR/>Jeff: Aw, you missed it by just a few hours. I changed it back this morning. I had some pumpkins on the header and a little spider crawling up and down the mouse cord saying "Boo!" when he reached the mouse... I'll probably use it again next year.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-17743233274732832182008-11-03T16:34:00.000-06:002008-11-03T16:34:00.000-06:00I think I missed something here.

Yeah, I was happy to find the spider and got him to crawl up and down the mouse...<BR/><BR/>Jaffer: Aw, thanks. After a full day of carving, decorating, and preparing for tonight, it is 5 pm and I am finally ready for those trick or treaters.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Babs... yeah, who says Halloween is for kids? I love doing those pumpkins.<BR/><BR/>Carol: Yes, you can get foam pumpkins at Michael's... each year I pick up a few AFTER Halloween real cheap so I can carve them the next year.<BR/><BR/>Har Irene! Yes, poor spider is a bit shy... until he goes "Boo!" Thanks for the compliment!<BR/><BR/>Hey DJ! Those pumpkins are hollow foam craft ones; they come in a variety of sizes and colors. I just just traditional carving tools, as well as my Dremel to carve them. Then I illuminate them with night lights on an extension cord... no candles in those or you'd have a fire for sure!<BR/><BR/>Gattina! Thanks for popping by... yes, I guess Halloween is a North American tradition; although I think it is gradually catching on over there too.<BR/><BR/>Aw, thanks again Babs! Yes, I hope you find these pumpkins over there; you can carve them well before Halloween... and now that I've been doing it for a few years, we have quite a collection!<BR/><BR/>Technodoll... thank you, you are too kind. I do love most art forms; so Halloween is a fun time to create a bit.<BR/><BR/>Ashley! Heather got me the NBX DVD for my birthday, so guess what we are going to watch real soon? :D<BR/>Are you going to be Edward Scissorhands or Sweeney Todd??? I want to watch ST after NBX tonight. You MUST take photos... I would love to see them!! Happy Halloween to you too... I'll be thinking of you when I am singing along to Nightmare....<BR/><BR/>Aw, Jay, you are very welcome. I hoped you would like it!<BR/><BR/>JD: Ha ha! "JD severs an artery, so I don't have to!"

Today is the only day of the year that I can play the entire NBX soundtrack in lab and my labmates are required by halloweeny law to endure it! I guess it doesn't help that I also know every word so they are more listening to "Ashley performs the NBX soundtrack loudly and dramatically over the original cast recording". I even treat them to some dancing if they are lucky!<BR/>Ok, well I am sooo excited about my costume tonight, on the theme of the Depp-man let's just say I spent my last weekend cutting out and painting 30 foam scissors! <BR/>I really can't wait to see this years pumpkin, but feel free to repost your masterpieces as often as you can (they are so awesome).<BR/>Happy Halloween!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11535259809788828308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-26534865618229549442008-10-31T14:38:00.000-05:002008-10-31T14:38:00.000-05:00I can hardly draw a stick figure, much less product foam pumpkin art like this!

Bit confused by the concept of how you are using the styrofoam, what you just cut a huge hole out of the pumpkin and slot in the styro? Like the idea of using electric lights though.
