The story of a pumpkin named Sonic

When I went home at Thanksgiving, Dad had bought us each a pumpkin. When I got home from my last work trip, R decided that we should carve a Sonic the Hedgehog pumpkin. Neither of us are really known for our artistic skills, but I was able to free-hand a fairly decent Sonic, based on something from the web (of course!).

R contemplating what to cut.. Tools for this project included a highlighter, several slotted screwdrivers and an exacto knife.
 End day one - Sonic is cut out.


Start day two - the necessary addition of the SEGA logo. We actually used a 'stencil' for this.. we tried free-handing the night before, but it didn't look very well, and then got washed off with the juice from the pumpkin.

Sega! All lit up .. notice the air holes in the back, too ;)

Finished product. We're both pretty impressed at how it turned out! :)
