I used a dremel like a paintbrush and made a big pumpkiny mess around the table.

That is a beautiful design choice for a pumpkin. I have always loved the original painting but never would have imagined seeing it this way. Too bad pumpkins rot since such a lantern would be a nice feature at any time of the year

It was sad to see it rot, but the fact that it was so temporary made it all the more special.

That's true - sometimes the fact that something only lasts a while makes it more special. It's like - nobody would care about seeing an aurora if they happened everywhere all the time

A few hours, maybe 3. I started out slowly, but as the cuts got deeper I started getting more and more reckless cutting ever deeper to bring out more contrast.

sockypoo [2010-11-23 06:37:54 +0000 UTC]

wow, thanks everyone!

For those who are curious, I actually used a dremel with a spiral drill bit to carve the details.
It worked pretty well because it did let me carve in brush-like strokes.
Make one hell of a mess with the pumpkin-goo-dust going everywhere, but it was quite fun to do.

how on earth did you manage to create this? its a MASTERPEICE! (or a copy, anyway). I never would have thought of using a pumpkin as a medium.

Beautiful work you have done here It is really impressive how much detail you added in that carving on a pumpkin.

Amazing how much work you did for a artwork which will be gone by now...

WingedSonar [2010-11-06 15:41:18 +0000 UTC]

That would be more Valentine's day, but the piece itself is definitely mysterious!
You did some simply amazing work with this. the shading and textures are brilliant, and the attention the detail would make the nutty eccentric proud.

I call for more shots!
