Christine, I don't know if I missed it or if someone has already asked but I'd love to get the captive's pumpkin seed recipe :)

Rebecca Phelps

Just found this, and thought of You there in NY...https://www.messynessychic.com/2019/09/20/i-see-a-road-trip-to-new-yorks-village-of-psychics-in-your-future/?utm_source=drip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=13+Things+I+Found+on+the+Internet+Today&utm_content=13+Things+I+Found+on+the+Internet+Today

A perfect catkin! Maybe next year you could try this with one of those carveable fake pumpkins so that it's permanent? Unless you don't mind throwing this masterpiece away!

Christina Rodriguez

It helps a lot to reduce the thickness of the carving area from the inside.

Page Brunner

Love the candle idea! πŸŽƒπŸ«ΆπŸΌ

Hella

You never cease to amaze me πŸ˜ƒ

Clara Salzmann

Tbh I was waiting for that airbrush to come outβ€¦πŸ˜‚ Beautiful Jack o lantern Christine!

Desiree Post

Yes! Please share the pumpkin seed recipe! Mine are always too chewy.

Emily Duckworth

That pumpkin is wonderful! I hope you are going to post pictures of your house all decorated for Halloween!

Robin D.

It's soooo beautiful! I love it!!! if i can i'll make a ceramic version of it... Once i take lessons...

Marianne

It really turned out beautiful. My beautiful kitty Quinn passed away this weekend and seeing this kitty pumpkin and your sweet kitties cheered me. I now know your grief in losing Mr.Biggles. I hope I will be able to adopt another cat when I’m ready, as you have. πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ–€

Shelley Anders

The kitties are very interested in the new, thin man staying at the house. :)

Racheal Jones

Love it πŸ–€

Antoinette du Bleumourant

Love this! And the coffin made a cameo appearance in the video as well!

Steven Jenkins

Wish I could add pictures! I did end up doing this today and I love how mine turned out! I made a conjoined twin skull πŸŽƒπŸ–€

Options: If you want your carvings to encompass the stem (nose, tongue, ?...), you can open and "disembowel" the pumpkin from the back or even the bottom. In that case you could not use the self-candle technique used here. But with a hole in the bottom of your pumpkin, you can just set it on top of a candle, which makes it easy to light. Fun tools to try, for new effects: melon baller, small rasp (hardware store), or clay-carving tools. To get the guts out, you might find a big metal spoon at a thrift store, which is both strong and long enough to get inside the pumpkin and reach all the sides, and actually scrape off all the soft stuff. Lifetime pumpkin fiend here.

Best Halloween present ever! Feral pumpkin kitty turned out beautifully and I love the idea of making it into a candle as well. I suppose you could clip his/her left ear a little so he's a TNR kitty. The coffin/kitty snippets are a hoot! Thank you SO much Christine!

So cool, now I want to create a Frankenstein's monster or witch face with a green pumpkin!

Willow Birch

Pretty Kitty!!! X-acto has a small saw blade that you can put into a more ergonomic handle. I found the blade to be a wee bit sturdier than pumpkin kit saws. I decimate those...poor things.

Missa

I loved this so much! I must have done something wrong though. I cast your Patreon videos to my TV and it had Ads! I thought Patrons ($40 per month) had no Ads. No worries! It was so good! Had to have been something I was doing wrong.

Kimberly Kline Design

can we get a lobotomized captive cooking show for the pumpkin seeds?

Genevieve Fernety

Thank you!

Toni

Definitely want the pumpkin seed recipie! This is awesome πŸŽƒ

Sarah Brown

What a cool idea, and you could do it to one of the carvable foam pumpkins from the craft store and make it as elaborate as you want to keep for a long time!

Anna Wilson

OBSESSED with using the pumpkin as the candle vessel!

Jennifer TreviΓ±o

I swear, I was so tense waiting for that skeleton in the coffin at the end to tilt his head suddenly to the side, eeeeekkk! Spooktacular soundtrack to this episode -- well done!!

Mary Horning

Sam would be proud! πŸ˜ƒ

Deb McGrath

Can we get the template please! ❀️

Ralphie J

What a great and fun way to carve pumpkins!! Loved every second!

Amber Noseworthy

This kitty pumpkin! It’s just gorgeous so sad it’s got to die. The idea of creating the candle inside is just brilliant, so exciting to get carving.

Zoe
