Edible but usually not eaten. Used mostly for decoration, they look like the pumpkin that became Cinderella's Coach.

I used this pattern that I drew for a Halloween Pumpkin last year. Feel free to print and use on your own pumpkins. If you do please let me know and take pics. I'd love to see my art on your pumpkins. Click on the image then click on View All Sizes and view the largest one. That's the high quality for printing. Yes PLEASE let me know if you use this or show me a picture of your pumpkin.

Day 25

My second ever attempt at pumpkin carving - it wasn't a 'thing' in Britain when I was growing up, although I notice more pumpkin-themed images in British people's Halloween pics each year.

Last time I carved a pumpkin was with my son back in 1995 or 1996 when he came to visit me in Marin.

This one was a bit more ambitious as I attempted go for a Court of the Crimson King vibe. Maybe my next attempt will be more successful.

Them pumpkins sure is tough to cut.
