Realistic Pumpkin Carving

Award-winning Tennessee sculptor and pumpkin carver Lundy Cupp never knew he could carve anything until picking up a pocketknife at age 47. Cupp now makes Halloween magic carving the best pumpkins on the block, and now you can too! This book will show you how to use easy-to-learn techniques to create awesome “3D” pumpkin personalities that will astonish your neighbours, family, and friends. Learn as he teaches you how to use simple household knives and inexpensive tools to carve memorable pumpkin faces, from frightful and spooky to fanciful and goofy. Learn the secrets of bringing expressive pumpkin characters to life by adding realistic details like teeth and eyes, instead of just cutting out solid shapes. Cupp takes you step-by-step through detailed projects for both beginning and advanced carvers. Twenty ready-to-use patterns are included for carving imaginative faces in pumpkins, gourds, squashes, and sweet potatoes. 96 pages, Softcover, Copyright 2016, ISBN: 978-1-56523894-7.
