They're not stamps

Since learning to carve rubber stamps (thanks to letterboxing), doing
pumpkins just got a lot more interesting. I used the lino carvers to
gouge part way through the pumpkin, and created a great jack 'o lantern
that looks like a Maori face tatoo. Some of the areas go all the way
through, making for a very interesting effect.

I hope you have also discovered copeing saw blades for pumpkin carving??? Break one end off where the teeth begin and hold it with a small vise grip pliers. Get a course tooth blade and have at it..With support, it will push directly into the pumpkin and you can "carve" some great detail.
