The All Menewsha Carving Classic [A Contest]
 
http://www.menewsha.com/img/88366/90...9f96df714b.png


In many parts of the world, lights are thought helpful to guide benevolent spirits home as well as keep those of darkness at bay. And in equally many parts of the world, this time of year is considered one where spirits are abroad. One of the most beloved aspects of Halloween, the carving of pumpkins and vegetables into lanterns has been practiced for centuries as way to facilitate this and as a way of dealing with the encroaching early nightfall. It's probably a tradition that's been carried out in your own home. Surely you were thinking about doing it again this year? Well, why not enter your transient masterpiece in Menewsha's own carving contest!

I made this mainly for a friend who loves Owls more 'n anything. x3
Free hand, looked at a few ideas and went at it with a steak knife and a spoon. Erhaha.

Finally found the time to get this done. The pumpkin is from earlier last month, but I was told I could provide my username in a picture the same area the pictures of the pumpkin were taken in. I hope this is alright.

RoadToGallifrey 10-29-2012 06:03 PM

After the mess I made last year my mum won't let me carve a pumpkin again :C

Seiki Nova 10-29-2012 06:05 PM

I'm actually carving my pumpkin tomorrow sometime so this is convenient! :)

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 10-29-2012 06:14 PM

@Cass: Sad! D:!!
Sneak out into the woods and do it. [ninja]

@Seiki: Awesome! It's no coincidence, us putting these threads out early. [lol]

Siipu 10-29-2012 06:39 PM


I'm going to try to enter this one. 8D
I never carved a pumpkin before, because we don't really celebrate halloween in here.
But i really want to this year, should be a lot of fun. 8D

Shadami 10-29-2012 06:45 PM

Nephila 10-29-2012 06:57 PM

How do you define traditional and non-traditional pumpkins?

The Wandering Poet 10-29-2012 06:59 PM

Can I carve an internet pumpkin?

Whisper Invictus 10-29-2012 07:04 PM

I"ll have to get the pics off my camera of my pumpkins [eager]

:P

Shadami 10-29-2012 07:12 PM

hummy 10-29-2012 07:25 PM

Chikyu 10-29-2012 07:35 PM

We never carve pumpkins. T.T

Great contest idea, tho! :3

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 10-29-2012 08:10 PM

You could do turnips or another kind of gourd. [:O]

I am going to try this out. Maybe, next time I head to the store I am going to pick up a pumpkin. <33 I can even bake some pumpkin seeds..

Mikio 10-29-2012 09:01 PM

This is such a creative idea! I'm going to buy my pumpkin tomorrow and carve it then too :D I'll send an entry when I do

traditional would be a face, nontraditional some other type of carving effort (made without the help of a professional stencil)

No, I am afraid they have to be flesh and blood pumpkins this year.

The Wandering Poet 10-29-2012 10:01 PM

Erm... care to explain how I get the flesh and blood on my pumpkin without getting arrested?

Kent 10-29-2012 10:23 PM

So we can paint a pumpkin for this?

I'm sad that the one year I decided to carve a pumpkin, Mene didn't have a pumpkin carving contest. ; 3; I don't know if I want to carve one again. o 3o

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 10-29-2012 10:47 PM

Yup, there's a painted category. [:)]
