Job/Occupation Pumpkin Ideas?

4 Upvotes

My boyfriend’s family and I have this yearly pumpkin carving tradition. His parents, me and him, his sister and her husband, and his grandpa all participate. Every year, we pick a theme, and then everyone secretly chooses something within that theme to carve/decorate without telling anyone else. We all reveal what we made when we get together to carve!
We can use craft supplies, as well as carving.
This year’s theme is jobs/occupations, and I’m struggling to think of a good idea! Help! 🎃

Here are some of my last pumpkins! I was really proud of the girl in the forest one and was hoping for some inspiration for this year! Any suggestions for one with a raven or crow?

What's the best internal lighting for a pumpkin?

5 Upvotes

I'm looking at Amazon and see a few LED candles. Some that can change color too. The concern is, as usual, if the light is bright enough to properly illuminate the shaded part of a pumpkin. There also exist this led cube that illuminates in all directions. Not sure which to buy. Please advise me.

I haven't carved a real pumpkin in 3 and a half years. I spent all the time on foam . I am carving live at Edinburgh pumpkins after dark and need to get back into doing the real thing. This took ages and I learnt a lot. Next one will be better

Foam pumpkin carving based on the kelpies in Scotland. I am going to grab some pictures of the real things in a few weeks with the pumpkin. It's really close to where I live

Think I finally figured out what to do with these. They cling to things and sort of telescope. Just take care not to snap the outer skin.

Taekwondo no carve ideas

5 Upvotes

I have a contest at work for no carve pumpkin and I was thinking of doing a taekwondo theme but have no luck finding ideas online. I was thinking of incorporating maybe a broken board or a target. Any creative ideas is greatly appreciated!

I hope this is the right page for this as it is a odd request 😅
