Just carve yourself a new one..
My workplace had a pumpkin carving contest. They gave us all a free pumpkin to carve. We also had the Halloween bash at Balaji's. Thought I could kill two birds with one stone and carved a nice one on sunday. By tuesday, the thing shrivelled and became so unrecognizable that it wouldn't be worth bringing anywhere near the display.
So I did one, last minute. Did not win, but got complimented by almost everyone. Made the kids very very happy when I got it home tonight.
Here it is..
Had to black out the spider on the surface so I wouldn't carve it out by mistake.
If only I could keep them from shrivelling so fast!
