Every year it is a big process to decide what to carve on "my" pumpkin. Last year it was a day of the dead skull (see here). The year before I did a mummy with bandage wrappings all the way around the pumpkin (see here). This year I decided to stick with the Mexican theme and do a carving of Quetzelcoatl. The image that I am using is here. I started working tonight but didn't finish. I got the head and the tail started, and got a few inches of body, but have a long way to go to connect the head to the tail by wrapping the body around the pumpkin! When it is done the blue areas will be where I cut all the way through and the light shines through.

I hope it turns out well!
