Pumpkin Carvings 2015

I was very tempted to have lots of pumpkin carvings. I mainly wanted to do different Disney characters but unfortunately I have nowhere to put them! If you could carve a hoard of pumpkins, would you have a theme? Would there be a limit on how many would be too many?

Last year I carved Jack Skellington. Going with the Disney theme, this year I decided on the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland.

I found the template on this website.

I used a huge steak knife to cut open the top and a pumpkin carving kit from PoundWorld to scoop out the insides and carve in the design. Tracing the design out beforehand, it proved difficult with the whiskers, so they were done freehand.
