Has anyone found any cool mini templates? I'm picking up a few pumpkins this weekend and will likely try my luck with something mini related.

They all look great!

Silly spirit! Back track in this thread and one of the first pages has a link for two templates. I think I'm going to try one from one of my motoring badges... This is so cool!!!

Reminds me of a piece of work that I made before I got my MINI. It's a MINI sand blasted onto a sheet of transparent glass. It was then placed in a custom made frame. As a bonus, there is a mirror in the background that has the MINI logo sandblasted in the middle.

I'm going to put it on the for sale thread, share it with others.

MINI jack o lantern pattern

I found a cool pattern on a MINI website. I cannot wait to carve it! I might even dress my MINI as a ghost, similar to the picture on the site.

OOOOHKAY!

So, I still have one big pumpkin left to do, but here's what I've done so far! I'm going to post the "real" image so you actually know what you're looking at!

Dragon picture:

Ohio State University Logo "Block O" (for my hubband):

My pitiful attempt at a Block O:


My Gargoyle Cat Finn:


My attempt at emblazoning him on a pumpkin...:


And just a friendly little face:

Thread or pictures? YOu can either just past the link into your post, or if they're pictures, post the link to the individual picture into the "picture" box in the tool bar ^ (yellow box w/ mountain and sun?) Let's see 'em!

I used the same pattern from the same site. I modified the pattern a bit, eliminating the outer-most flames, since I was using a MINI-sized pumpkin. Ha! A MINI on a mini! Dorky, I know . . .

These pumkins are great! I did one two years ago and didn't realize this post was out there until tonight. How do you like this one?
