Halloween 2012 Pumpkin

My wonderful hubby finished carving the styrofoam Halloween pumpkin for this yr Wed 10/17, Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter Halloween 2012 Pumpkin. 

He bought the pattern online for $3.95 from the same guy at MasterpiecePumpkins.com that he bought the Captain Jack Sparrow Halloween 2011 Pumpkin pattern from that you can see in a scrapbook layout here. I'll be creating a scrapbook layout of this as well.

There are 3 pattern ratings: Easy, Moderate & Challenging and this pattern like last yr is rated Challenging which has to do with the shading carving that involves cutting partially thru, peeling away skin but leave pumpkin flesh. 

A battery operated light is used to light up the styrofoam pumpkin.
 

Hubby realized he had forgot to cut the top line of hat so you can see he has made the cut now in the new photo added 10/27/12.

paper: printer paper - pattern printed on
pattern: MasterPiecePumpkins.com Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter
pumpkin: styrofoam - bought at Michael's
tools:  Pumpkin Masters carving tools, push pins (to mark the pattern onto pumpkin) & dremel (electric tool)
and last but not least: time, patience & skill
