No doubt I have had my Pumpkin Carving pics on Gaia before . But probably loose pics on my Prof . Not so much in a Journal .
I've got most of the pics , but not all .
Missing Farfetched , Gengar and OMG pumpkin and Spiritomb Pumpkin .
Cos my Samsung S8 died before I could upload them anywhere .
.
Slim possibility I might be able to extract them out of my phone in some way or another .
. . . .
Some of my Earliest ever carvings done at the house at Nash's Garden . The old ladies house at Old Town that I do her garden and some D.I.Y
I once used to Lodged there between 2000 and 2004
.
Shark Fin Melon ( Ivy Leaf Gourd )
In the earlier days of my Pumpkin carving I would obtain seeds from a local Chinese Takeaway shop . I would grow the seeds to have these unusual candidates for Halloween carving .
These were interesting that they were Melon in shape with a standable base . They have a Dark Green shin with Silver blotches all over .
Unlike all the other ones that I carved in the past , these ones would glow white internally , and I always used to carve them with crosses on the face .

A Ghastly Group of carved pumpkins from the Mid 2000's
The one on the far right was a Turban type pumpkin , more suitable for consumption and was a nightmare to carve , because of how solid it was
.
My first Cabbit Pumpkin . This was a pretty big pumpkin and the face was reminiscent of my interpretation of Ryo-Ohki
.
This pumpkin was a Hundredweight pumpkin that I grew myself . At the end it attained a weight of 40 Lbs .
Sadly while on the table in the back room of the House at Nash's Garden . The Fruit flies attached the stalk and the enzyme's in their saliva had begun to break down the innards of the pumpkin internally out of sight .
By the time it came to carving . I opened the top up in the Kitchen to find a horrific sloppy dark green mess that was eating into the base of the pumpkin . It made me feel i'll just working on it mad
Eventually I had to carry the weak based pumpkin into the Back garden and flush it out with a hose .
Initially I had to use up to 7 individual Tealights to warm it up enough and dry it out . Eventually I was able to just have the standard couple of Tealights at the end .
I carved something like a Dragon face onto it .
.
Vauxhall Motor's Pumpkin
This was undoubtably one of my best pumpkin carvings , that show's the Griffin from the Vauxhall Motors logo . I painted this one up with Silver paint in the typical Logo area's before carving .
This one is located in my flat in the photo .
.
After I carved this pumpkin I gave it to my Cousin Stuart Moore . Vecmanstu77 here on Gaia R.I.P . As he loved his Vauxhall cars . A small amount of the carving ended up on the positive light , but I think it looks great .

A basic and generic Owl designed pumpkin . This was actually quite a small pumpkin . So even this was a task to finely carve .

Have to say this was a terrifying bunch of Little Gourds . Oddly one of them appears to have fallen asleep ?

Lined up and ready to go at Nash's Garden . Was realy pushing the boundaries with this one ! . This is basically a scene of the back garden at the Old Ladies House that I do her gardening .
It was a combination of surface and some area's of full cut .
Penny the cat sits on the Shed roof , while Tuppence looks at her Grave , with Schneeball the rabbit along side her .
The bomb was dropped not long ago that Tuppence the cat that the Old Lady surrendered , may still be alive and fine . Not long after my right hand Bunny Boy Schneeball passed away .
I even carved in a glowing and fiery Incinerator on the right and the crescent moon . The garden arch glowing and supposedly the route to Tuppences afterlife . of which she may not have taken after all .
Penny is still going to this day .
.

After a few days sitting

An interesting design on this pumpkin . I first saw the two cat characters on a music video picture on the You tuber for General Malice : Hands up . And I decide one halloween that I had to carve that design on a pumpkin .
Later I found out that the Logo is in fact from a Japanese and American delivery service . Yamato Transport . This cat delivers !
The Mummy cat carrying her Kitten . The kitten is painted black on the surface and wears a cross .
Plus a standard carved pumpkin similar to the Staplehurst one . So obviously the same year .
.
This design was quite wide , so a bit of it went into the positive glow the same as the Vauxhall Motors pumpkin did before .
.
A Peppa Pig carved pumpkin that somebody wanted me to do for their kid . picture taken at my late Cousin Stuarts house .

This was pushing it a bit too skill wise with the Ship , lots of gouging , positive and negative area's on this one .
.
This is not all my carvings , but most of them . I may be able to find some more and upload and share at some point .

The surface scored pumpkin was possibly done around 2010 and the design based on a Character done by Graffiti Write Aroe FDC MSK in 2000 . But I altered it to look like German Dachshund .
Also the same year I done the same design on the Brick Butress of Woodside Tram Stop on Croydon Tramlink in Chrome , black and white . I was one of my last Track side pieces . There was an overhead electrics maintenance vehicle on the line , and as I was taking a flash photo I saw the headlights of the advancing machine . I dropped to the floor and remained still as it went past , and heard one of the men say " we've got him ! " . After the machine went under the station and road bridge I jumped a chain link fence and a high metal gate onto Ritchie Road . One of my shoe laces had come undone and I couldn't run properly , so it was an uncomfortable fast walk all the way to Arena and past the Norwood Country park and back to my flat .
I had to return to Woodside early the next morning to pick up my ( bronze )Camaro GT machine bicycle that I had left there . What a buzz . Those were the days .
