This year we carved 68 pumpkins. For my contribution to the display, I wanted to honor my dad, who passed away in September. I converted the design I used for the paper cut shadow box I made for him a couple of years ago into a pumpkin-carving pattern, and I changed the corn field to a pumpkin patch.
For many, many years he enabled my obsession by raising beautiful pumpkins for me. I also carved a portrait of him.
