Pumpkin carving ideas usually fall into one of two categories: Overly simplified (just make a face on the pumpkin) or exceptionally difficult (anything in Martha Stewart Living's October issue). We'd like to think that these projects fall somewhere in the middle, with a nod to a few inspiring "extreme" pumpkins. Depending on your carving skills, these are all possible to make, providing you have a linoleum carving kit (like this one from Speedball). These tools will allow you to do things like etch and carve fine details with minimal work. In the meantime, we'll stick to a Pac-Man jack o'lantern like the one above.
