SoS #4: Yoda Pumpkin

Photobucket

I carved this for Halloween a few years ago.  What you do is you take the picture you want to carve and make it layered in four (or so - it depends on the picture) tones of greyscale from white to black, print it out, and use it as your guide on the pumpkin.  I know some people use dremels but I personally found I had much more control with the exacto knife and box cutter combination I had going on.  If I remember correctly, I did punch through with a metal skewer to get some of the detailed edges on the super shiny bits.

I don't really have a lot to say about this hahaha.  I learned not to carve a pumpkin too far in advance of Halloween - the back was moldy by the time we put him out.

Coming soon:  I do have a (new) FO I'm fairly happy with to share, I just need to get some good pics.  I've also got a WIP, though I haven't decided whether I should wait until it's done to post.  I'll definitely take some WIP pictures of it in any case.

P.S.  Yoda is Bad Ass.
