Pumpkin Carving 2011

This year I was having a hard time thinking of something to carve. My parents got back in September from serving an LDS mission in Jamaica. So as I was standing over my pumpkin talking with my parents I realized that the lines/ridges on the pumpkin looked like dreadlocks.
So it's only fitting that I do a Rastafarian pumkin... Enjoy...


Everybody always asks how to you get the circle around the main part of the carving. The secret is to thin the pumpkin so that it is still attached but the light can shine through the thin layer of pumpkin. This pumpkin has no wholes into the pumpkin other than the one on top to put the light source.
