I have considered making one with a foam pumpkin so it could last forever. You know those ones you can buy to carve that are supposed to look just like real pumpkins but won't die? I've also considered just making a Sam head out of a styrofoam ball, it wouldn't be pumpkin-related at all but just a Sam replica. Then it could be entirely covered with burlap and look more accurate to the movie.

Actually, I was pretty content with winning third, but if I hadn't placed at all I might have been more angry. But I knew in advance that judges are usually stupid and don't pick the one who deserves to win, so I had already considered the possibility of not winning anything at all. Too bad that you were deemed "too scary" -- it's Halloween, what were they expecting? The scariest thing should have won.

he looks awesome. the paint is perfect to the burlap, I agree you should have won, just remember your a winner in our book!!!!!!!

Yeah, I entered a pumpkin carving contest once. I could have sworn the rules said "original designs" but the first and second place were just standard Pumpkin Masters patterns. The only reason I placed third is because there were only three entries!

This is great! How long did it take you to make?

Thanks. With all the planning I did, I think it took about one-and-a-half to two weeks, but I'd say I spent about a week making it, and most of that time was spent letting the paint dry. The actual work probably would have only taken a few hours if the paint hadn't needed time to dry.
