    About this ebook

    If Ray Villafane’s pumpkins look familiar, you may have seen them on the Food Network’s Pumpkin Challenge, CBS News, or the Martha Stewart Show. Acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal as the Picasso of pumpkin carving, Ray Villafane’s Pumpkins celebrates some of his most “ghoulish” creations. From carving for the president at the White House to Bermuda’s Sousa’s Gardens, the exposure of Ray’s style, talent and creativity has amassed an all-new appreciation for pumping “carving.” As you admire the pumpkins within these pages, you’ll be inspired to pick up your own tools and follow Ray’s advice and tips on creating a one-of-a-kind Halloween accoutrements.

      You may know Villafane from his appearances on The Food Network's Halloween Challenge. He's the team pumpkin carver who has won twice. When not in pumpkin season, he's a professional sculptor, and his incredible skill shows in his pumpkins. This book has a 10 step tutorial on pumpkin carving with sculpting tools, then displays full page examples of his amazing work. He even carves pores into the skin for a really life-like result.
