Wow. I would guess this was done by someone who might make a living (or at least some money) from pumpkin carving. This gives me something to aspire to.

They did have a "workshop" area of the show. They had one guy working on a new one. It was interesting. I took some shots but it was really dark and I was tripodless so it's super blurry.

This is just amazing. How on Earth do people do stuff like this?! Holy crap! Not only do you have to have the artisitc ability, but you also have to carve shadows and backlighting into the melon. Kind of like a woodcut...up is down and down is up and all that kind of backwards-assed thinking.

This is just amazing. In fact, I almost disbelieve that it is a carving. Is this just painted on the pumpkin?

From what I could tell they weren't painted. I did touch one pumpkin to see and you can feel it was raised in parts. I didn't check this particular one, but I assume they were all craved.

It does seem to have a wood carving feel to it. Over at the workshop area thats exactly what it looked like he was doing. Just sculpting into the pumpkin.

I was just watching the Wizard of Oz and thought to myself this would make a great set of pumpkins and went to look for pictures of the cast on the web. Then I found yours . I thought I was god at pumpkin carving till I saw your Wizard of Oz.. This is by far the best I have ever seen and I have been doing them for years. My hat is off to you . You are a true master.

I didn't carve this. Mine usually come out with lopsided faces and usually just the triangle eyes. It was a local show they have every year in Rhode Island. I didn't get to go this year unfortunately.
