isn’t the stormtrooper one impossible? I wonder how you make the bit on either side of the chin levitate?

The only thing I can think of is a toothpick. That might be what the thin lines represent.

I think that the lines represent not toothpicks but wooden skewers

I think they neither represent a toothpick, nor a wooden skewer, but in fact the represent the impossibilities that life masquerades as. These need to be seen what they are, and nothing more. Stormtroopers are not real, and I should be happy with a fine pumpkin template. I just wish I didn’t hollow the one I did free hand so much, it kind of looks like it’s melting now.

I think you’re right, Sean. A wooden skewer is a better term for what I was thinking.
Hi Robbie, funny that. :)

I thought the terms were irrelevant, either way you both solved the huge problem of levitation…no smoke and mirrors for me though, just toothpicks or skewers.
Thanks for the help, I’ll post a pic somewhere if I decide to go with the stormtrooper. Can I use one pumpkin for two faces - one on either side?

I did the stormtrooper, but I didn’t do the little circles inside the circles. And it was very lopsided, but that’s mostly my fault.

Hi Linda, I tried to look for them but I can’t find them anymore. :(
