Hello. I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to creatively
carve a pumpkin. Okay, at this point our pumpkin should be completely hollow. There's nothing
left inside there. Now a lot of times when you're doing a traditional jack-o-lantern
pumpkin, you toss out the guts. Let's not do that today. Put them on a plastic bag and
keep them in a heap. Put these off to the side. If you have small quarters and they
start getting too aromatic, you can always put them outside your door for an hour or
two. Don't any longer, or your neighbors may complain. They may have a right to, too. So
our top is all ready to go. We've started coloring in the outside like I actually demonstrated
last time, with a black pen. Make sure if you have any like, little inner over-spills
here that you wipe those away first. Otherwise, the ink will start to smudge and streak and
you won't get any of the swooping lines that we'd talked about. So, it's a nice cut, it's
flat on the inside. We've taken off and made sure you don't have any stray seeds on the
inside of the top. We want all of the seeds gone. As you'll find out, a lot of the carving
we are going to be doing today is going to be fairly detailed which will mean probably
this pumpkin's life will be around one week in life- expectancy.
