Stephen Colbert Pumpkin Carvings! (Pics)

Katie from Musician Mama has carved some awesome Stephen Colbert Jack-O-Lanterns!

As promised, I carved Stephen this morning (though not before zipping off to Target to pick up some new pumpkin carving tools -- it seems we lost the old ones during the move). I used the $3.50 Pumpkin Masters carving kit for the pattern transfer and the carving, and a grapefruit spoon to scrape away the pumpkin flesh. The pumpkin is lit from within using a compact florescent bulb -- I cut the bottom out of the pumpkin to make it easy to install.
