pumpkin head!

Happy Samhain, dear ones! My dear
Mamilein decided that we set up this year, a pumpkin head for Halloween. And of course I have made myself with a lot of joy to the carving of decoration.
Here are the pictures of my Kürbistöterei: the victim. The pumpkin we bought the Kürbishof, the last year we had already visited times. Basically, you can carve every pumpkin that is large enough. But since everything is more difficult than it looks like ... better start with a big.

So first is on the pumpkin the subject applied with a wax pen. Check out the first time from below, if the color can also wash off again. You want so no lines on your stencil Kürbisköpfchen.Einige people take to help draw the faces ... but as long as you want to carve not really complicated stuff, this is worth it not really. A funny face is supposed to be creating for the untalented yet. As a second step, we need a hole in the pumpkin to undermine him. Which form you're using and whether up or down reinsäbelt course remains a personal choice. I chose for my first head of the zig-variant because they missed the pumpkin a hairstyle that if the star's later twisted touches down. Then it is also already the hardest part of the work. The pumpkin should be scraped out well. Preferably with a spoon or Eisausstecher. Just make sure you let the outside wall is thick enough that it remains stable when you rumschnitzt it.
Soderle. If the pumpkin is hollowed out beautiful, you can make to the Carving. This is the best a small pointed knife or a saw blade. There are also extra Kürbisschnitzsets. The right of them only look cheap, but now I have as you work with very excessive. It should be from within outside work to avoid breaking out parts. If something breaks, it can be re-infected with toothpicks.

Well ... and that was it actually has. To extend the shelf life of the head should be set up at him rather cool places. You can still leave it dry for a while before you is a purely Kerzchen (or an electric light - sicherheritshalber) smear and the cut surfaces with petroleum jelly. Furthermore, it should help him to be sprayed with paint or hair spray, so he does not age too quickly.

I'm really proud to own my first pumpkin head! The carving is great fun!

As a little inspiration for a few great pics that I found on the net. Carving Advanced:
course, the possibilities here are almost unlimited. Googling you but just by the pictures of pumpkin carving to America. What do you get there to see in championships is pretty abnormal. But something rumschmökern worth it!

So Happy Halloween, All Saints and deliberately Smahain nice wishes you Serith!
