Carving pumpkins

This week in Language Café we were carving pumpkins. I wanted to carve Finn from Adventure time, I even printed out stencil and everything but sadly enough pumpkin wasn't big enough for my design. Next year I'll buy huge pumpkin and carve it full of Adventure Time characters. Anyways, I needed to come up with the new idea so I decided to do the face of Jack the Pumpkin King from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
 We got a short introduction of where did all pumpkin carving start from and few tips for carving. First we drew the design on pumpkin and then we carved the top out with a knife so we were able to open pumpkin and get all the stuff out with the spoon. It wasn't as easy as it looked like.
 I didn't wanna carve eyes trough so I carved it only to the flesh so that light still gets to glow trough but it isn't as strong as from cut troughs. Everything else (a mouth and nostrils) I cut trough, and I think I did a pretty good job for my first pumpkin!
