Well it's been a few days since I moved and things are slowly starting to come together. Yeah, that's right, I moved again. I'm now sharing a townhouse/duplex thingy with my husband, best friend and 2 of my my husbands best friends. So that's 3 guys and 2 gals including me. Fun times =P . Thus far things have been going alright; getting our internet hooked up a couple days ago was a great leap forward as most of our roommates were about to die of sheer boredom. Not that I blame them, once their unpacking was done there was next to nothing for them to do here since there was no cable as well.

Anyhow, it's going to get some getting used to but I think this will work out. The trickiest thing to figure out right now is meals. Breakfast and Lunch is pretty much fend for yourselves but Dinner... well that's one meal pretty much everyone is together for and so it's likely going to be a meal made for everyone. Trying to find food everyone likes though and making enough for everyone, that's a bit of a challenge. I can cook yes but I'm not that good at it and guessing how much everyone will eat, yeah, not easy. Still, I figure too much is better than to little as my hubby I know will take any left overs to work and if there's really a lot left over, well, it'll still likely get eaten at some point.

Moving on, once I unearth my drawing stuff I'll likely start posting things again. You really never know how much stuff you have till you see it all in boxes... Piles of boxes...

I'm eager to design some of my own pumpkin designs(like I did a shyguy from Mario last year and Tails from Sonic two years ago)

and I'm thoroughly captured by the idea of adding shades by peeling away

can you place explain to me how to do it properly because I have no idea whatsoever >.<

Well a lot of it was sorta trial and error when I started. I have a tutorial on how to use stencils here [link] . I will say and X-acto knife can be your best friend for the peeling parts. Often the blade isn't long enough to cut all the way through pumpkin so you can use it to cut around the peel shape with little fear of cutting too deep. Also on the parts that say peel feel free to hatch a bit over the rind if it helps it come off. After all you're just going to peel it away so there's really no need to fear scraping it up a bit. As for tools to scrape away the rind my husband has some wood carving tools that I usually use that work stellar but since not everyone has these a flat ended tool like a flat head screwdriver could work. Just tilt it to its side and scrape away. Oh, and as for how deep to peel to, well a lot of it depends on the pumpkin. Some are REALLY thick so you have to sorta dig down a ways in order for the light to shine through. This it likely the hardest part as you don't want to dig too deep or you lose structural stability but not to shallow either or you can't see the light. If you have decide between the two though go for too shallow. It may not have the effect you were looking for when lit in pitch darkness but in normal light there's really no way anyone can tell there's anything wrong with it.
