‘Tis the season to bring out your carving knives and spook those goblins with clever sculptings!

Here’s a sampling of fantastic pumpkins* ~ some of which I’d think would require not just skill but the patience of a saint. They’re inspiring, yes? Another example of our wondrous capacity for creativity. Enjoy!

I love these pumpkins! Every October, the illustrious California-based design firm Duarte Design holds a Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest. The results are pretty incredible. Check out these testaments to creativity…

You can see them all here and cast your vote for a favorite. The deadline for voting is October 30; the results are posted on Halloween Day. And while you’re there, don’t miss their pumpkin Hall-o-fame. It’s big fun. : )

Have fun carving, and Happy Halloween!

As if ghouls, goblins and wads of candy weren’t enough, Halloween just got a whole lot more fun.

This is the 15th year of an annual pumpkin carving contest held by Duarte Design, and boy are these carvings great! What a treat. You can even vote for your favorite. (but hurry, voting ends the afternoon of 10/29.)

These are so much fun, I’m thinking I might start my own contest next year. So, you’ve been fairly warned, with plenty of time to think about what you’d like to do ~ and here’s some fantastic inspiration to whet your creative spirits!
