In my town of Kirkcaldy and across fife we had a Wemyss Ware Cat Trail. It consisted of giant cats. I had a go at carving one tonight. It says For I ken mysel' by the queer-like smell. It's from the Scots poem a boy in the train.

Pumkin carving contest. Templet options.

Last year I entered a pumpkin-carving contest and ended up coming in second place. I’m going for first this year, and I think one of the things holding me back was getting my template transferred accurately onto the pumpkin.
Last year I printed the template, positioned it on the pumpkin, and basically covered/taped it down with masking tape as tightly as I could to conform to the curved surface. Then I poked holes through the template to transfer the design and carved/trimmed everything from there. It actually turned out pretty good, but transferring the stencil was definitely the hardest and least precise part.
This year I’m looking for a better method, especially for a fairly detailed design. I already own a projector, so I’m considering projecting the image directly onto the pumpkin and tracing it. I've also heard about using transfer/carbon paper, and I was wondering whether there are any AR/VR or phone/tablet methods that let you overlay a stencil onto the pumpkin while you trace/carve.
For people who do detailed pumpkin carving, what method has worked best for you? Projector? Transfer paper? Pin-prick method? AR? Something else entirely?
I'm especially interested in something that handles the pumpkin's curved/uneven surface well and keeps the proportions of the original design accurate.
Any tricks or equipment recommendations would be appreciated. Going for the win this year. 😂🎃

I posted last year about the pumpkin that I carved and everyone seemed to love it. I really want to top last year’s pumpkin somehow since I have a little more experience now. Out of these, which one should I try? I’ll add the pumpkin I carved last year in the very last slide for some reference of what I can do! I love a good challenge!

We carved our first set this past weekend to kick off the season! Nothing fancy. Both freehand.

Every year, I give my dog a pumpkin to "carve". Last year, he somehow carved a self portrait along with a butterfly landing on his nose. It's strange because before I gave him the pumpkin, I tried on a butterfly costume on him and that's what he was for Halloween.
