One Of My Hidden Talents ~ Somewhat Wordless

Well, not so hidden anymore. I love this time of year for many reasons and one is that I have a passion for pumpkins. Pumpkin carving that is. I have loved carving pumpkins ever since I can remember. I recall my mother laying out the newspaper on the table, finding the largest knife that we owned and making a pumpkin master piece. Well, I sort have changed my technique and my tools consist of more than just a knife and a wooden spoon (you know that you are serious when you mention tools).

With this pumpkin, I played around with our logo and this is the result. What do you think?

Impressive work! I imagine it's a little challenging working on a multi-curved surface.

Hey, Craig. I think this is the extent of my talent.

Hey, John. It only took 2 hours. Not to bad.

Hey, Kathy.  Thanks for the very nice comment and for the ten.

Hey, Rebecca. We all shine in our own way. I hope that you have a great week.

Jim & Maria - Your more than welcome ... can you imagine your farm area with one of your pumpkins by the front door of every home.

Jim: good job and on top of it you are doing some nifty promotion.

Posted by LLoyd Nichols~SW Florida Homes (Premier Sandals Realty) over 2 years ago

Wow, that is an impressive talent.  I always tend to mess up the pumpkins when I carve them and if I venture for a try at one of those kits, I get too involved and the pumpkin falls apart before too long.  :(
