My name is Jamie and I'm obsessed with carving Pumpkins, here are some of my most recent Pumpkin carvings. This style of carving is called shading, some people call it etching - either way, this technique involves shaving parts of the Pumpkin to different depths allowing varying amounts of light through to make the design. Each of the below Pumpkins has taken anything from 8 to 20 hours to carve.
