Halloween Pumpkin Carving

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-you-can dept.

Following a previous story about a Dremel pumpkin carving kit, we've got a number of pumpkins to share with everyone. Leading off is Kathleen's Strong Bad. Next up is our first Cacodemon, followed by another Cacodemon and a Spider Mastermind. quan74 pointed us to The Pumkin Lady who has carved up heads of state and has a pattern for creating your own Tux. Kirk put together a tutorial for a 1upkin. And finally, droops sent us in the classic Jack-O-Linux which never gets old.

      Anyway wouldn't a Dremel work better if you freeze the pumpkin first?

      Good question. We carved three pumpkins yesterday. It was the first time using the 'skinning' technique. One was the gargoyle-looking one from the Dremel site, and the others were Marvin the Martian and the Tazmanian Devil from elsewhere.

      In addition to using a Dremel, I also used some dental picks. The WB characters were a bit too detailed to get much use out of the Dremel, so they were mostly done with the picks. As I worked in an area where I needed a very narrow ridge of skin left, it was tough to be very precise, as that ridge would always flex. I was pondering then whether a frozen pumpking would work better.

      Second which is the best Dremel to buy?

      Depends on what you're doing. I bought a kit a few years back that included a variable speed tool, the flexible shaft attachment, and a bunch of bits in a case. Works for most of what I use it for, which is mainly the cutoff wheels, a sanding drum for the dogs' toenails, and now pumpking carving.

      Come on. Sure it has it's celtic roots but check this out:


      The true origins of Halloween lie with the ancient Celtic tribes who lived in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. For the Celts, November 1 marked the beginning of a new year and the coming of winter. The night before the new year, they celebrated the festival of Samhain, Lord of the Dead. During this festival, Celts believed the souls of the dead--including ghosts, goblins and witches--returned to mingle with the living. In order to scare away the evil spirits, people would wear masks and light bonfires.

      When the Romans conquered the Celts, they added their own touches to the Samhain festival, such as making centerpieces out of apples and nuts for Pomona, the Roman goddess of the orchards. The Romans also bobbed for apples and drank cider--traditions which may sound familiar to you. But where does the Christian aspect of the holiday come into play? In 835, Pope Gregory IV moved the celebration for all the martyrs (later all saints) from May 13 to November 1. The night before became known as All Hallow's Even or "holy evening." Eventually the name was shortened to the current Halloween. On November 2, the Church celebrates All Souls Day.

      The purpose of these feasts is to remember those who have died, whether they are officially recognized by the Church as saints or not. It is a celebration of the "communion of saints," which reminds us that the Church is not bound by space or time.
