Halloween is no longer the only time pumpkin carvers can create wonderful decorations and centerpieces.  This perfect companion to pumpkin carving provides all the necessary instructions and step-by-step projects for producing stunning, original pumpkin lanterns.

First the wide variety of pumpkins and squashes available today is described in words and photographs for easy identification.  a glossary of carving techniques then takes the pumpkin sculptor through the uses of different tools and cutting methods -- all of the skills are easy to acquire and simple to do with no previous experience necessary.

The twenty projects take advantage of the many colors, shapes and sizes of this versatile fruit.  You can cut out a simple geometrically patterned pumpkins or a romantic star-spangled, vine-tangled version.  Clusters of tiny squash when carved out makes a warm and welcoming window display, and a band of folk art roosters strutting around a large pumpkin will enchant adults and children alike.  For the classically inclined, a wise witch project and how to carve a jack o' lantern are included to put a twist on the traditional Halloween patterns.  A quaint Russian house and country heart are just two more of the appealing easy-to-achieve projects this highly colored guide has to offer.
