Pumpkin Carving 101

So... I saw this lovely post on Pinterest about carving pumpkins with a drill. I decided I could use this tool to create the sugar skull I wanted to make. 

What they don't show in the pretty picture on the right of the collage is the huge, uncontained mess that it makes (at least with big, juicy pumpkins) or that the drill bit and drill become totally gross with pumpkin innards and that the heat of the drill turns some of those pumpkin bits into a substance on the drill and bit that is much like drying  rubber cement. It was gooey and incredibly hard to remove from the bits I used and the drill itself. 








It did, however, make creating the sugar skull a WHOLE LOT easier. 

Not bad, I say. 

Happy Halloween!!
