The process on how i carved this pumpkin:
1) print out pattern to the best size for the pumpkin. If no pattern, and only a photo/artwork, I create a pattern using photoshop to optimize the picture for 3 colors (black= outer skin, white= cut all the way through, grey= partial removal of the meat but not all the way through). This can take alot of time depending on the complexity of the original picture.
2) Apply Elmer's washable glue to the back of the pattern and apply to the pumpkin surface. The great thing about the glue is it makes the paper wet and easier to position on the rough, round surface of a pumpkin. Let dry.
3) Use a Dremel tool with a 1/32" drill bit I cut out all the holes. Then I trace all the "grey" partial cut area.
4) remove the paper and using a wet cloth clean off the glue residue.
5) continue with the dremel tool with various bits to remove the pumpkin skin and meat part way through to get the light to show through.
6) Practice....Practice...Practice....and stay away from the coffee because you will need a very VERY steady hand.
This pumpkin took me about 3 hours to carve.

Okay, I see your instructions here. So very impressive. You've created pumpkin art. You should send this to Jack. Or Stephen King. Or Kubrick. Okay, one of Kubrick's kids. Or something! Anyway, thanks for sharing.

That's dedication to your art form. I've done several of these that I thought turned out great, but they look amateurish compared to this. Bravo!
