Pumpkin Carving Contest

We are having a carving contest at work and I need some good, creative, yet easy ideas.  I'm below a carving beginner, I'm pretty terrible at it, but there is a prize involved.  :)  Ideas?

    I saw that... what would one use as the meat?

  • No entirely sure, especially because it looks like they used real tomatoes (ew).
  • Do you have to carve?  Can you paint?
  • I just saw a picture on fb of a carving which was a pumpkin delivering a baby pumpkin (multiple pumpkins involved here - 2 big and 1 little).  Definitely interesting and different, but not sure if it is appropriate for your work.  Probably a code of conduct violation at my work!

    This was on Rachael Ray yesterday and it's all real for the insides. 

  • When I was in grade school we used to have a pumpkin decorating contest between all the grades every year and It was the most fun!  I still remember some of the ones we did!  A 'Candyland' Themed pumpkin, one that looked like E.T.  :) Some like Haunted Houses.

     

    There was a cute pic on Pinterest the other day where the pumpkin was silver and made to look like a spaceship, with a door cut out of it and they used the cut out piece as sort of a 'ramp' coming down and then they had all these little mini pumpkins painted green like aliens with three googlie eyes on them and green pipe cleaners as antena..So cute!  Pinterest is acting up, othewise I'd post the pic!

    You should do a Mr or Mrs Potato Head Pumpkin!!
