My Pumpkin

I had meant to post pictures of my pumpkin, and just forgot.  Here are a couple of my world pumpkin, which I carved by thinning out the pumpkin where the landmasses are, but not carving all the way through, such that the skin over the land was more translucent.

    Excellent use of the medium.. of pumpkin!

    Of course, it's a globalized globe, one happy and aglow through free trade and entrepreneurship, and not some warm and fuzzy hippy-drippy "one world" organically-grown statist globe.

    Holy cow. That's cool.

    That's beautiful, Coyote. I've only ever carved a few crude pumpkins, so I'm baffled as to how you did that. Would you mind explaining what techniques and tools you used? How long did it take?
