Since there is already a thread for Halloween, us Bears thought it would be better to continue the existing thread instead of starting a new one.

Thanks!

We always have two pumpkins.  One traditional and one Bear pumpkin.
Note the Bear on the right with the leaf on her foot and the Halloween mask.  She's the one on the pumpkin.
We took her photo and used Photoshop to posterize the image.  Then we traced the picture onto the pumpkin and cut it out.

Every year one of the Bears gets to be on a pumpkin.  It's a tradition in this Bear den.  bear_original

I can only remember carving pumpkins once.  It was certainly nothing like as good as antyhign you guys produced!

Wow!  Frank, the bunny is very cool!   bear_cool
Coraline isn't bad either!   bear_grin

How do you make your patterns?  We use Photoshop then print the image out.  We tape the picture onto the pumpkin then use small nail to poke holes through the paper.  From there, it's easy to cut the shapes.

What did you use to skin the pumpkin?  We used a lemon zester.

Really nice work!   bear_cool

I made the logo one just by printing it out onto A4; The others I got from www.stoneykins.com  - A total cheat but hey! With the 2 colour ones, I printed them out, used Carbon paper to transfer and went over the lines with a Sharpie.

To skin it, it used a scalpel to remove the skin, and then a zester to thin it out - with Frank I couldn't as it was so intricate and hard to do. I love Frank and have a Frank costume  bear_grin  (does that make me wierd? Probably  bear_happy  )

Not, really.  It just means "Donnie Darko" is your favorite movie.  :)

However, whenever somebody who lives in a house with 1,000 Teddy Bears says, "That's not weird." you should probably take it with a grain of salt.   bear_tongue
