Cat Face Pumpkin, Quick and Easy Carving with Rotozip Power Tool

Kitty Pumpkin

Last year carved my pumpkin with the Rotozip.

I've used the Rotozip on foam pumpkins too, so easy!

I decided to use it again this year but on a real pumpkin.

The Rotozip is a spiral saw power tool and I like it 

for detailed cutting in wood like scrolled wing dragonflies or, 

in this case, pumpkins!

The last few years I've been cutting a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin 

instead of making the little lid and then I place the carved pumpkin over a candle.

So much easier!

After cutting the hole from the bottom and cleaning out the inside,

I drew a quick freehand design of a kitty face and started cutting.

I used a silver sharpie to draw the face on the pumpkin

that's what those silver marks are you see on the face.

Place over a candle or you could create a solar pumpkin.

It only took about 20 minutes start 

to finish, including the cleaning part

Happy Halloween!
