First the photo is taped onto the pumpkin.
Then holes are poked outlining the photo.
Juice starts to flow as the holes are poked.
After the outline is done, the photo is removed.
The juices are then wiped off the pumpkin.

If you look closely you can see the outline of holes.
The lighter areas are scraped out.
Different depths will equal different degrees of "white" in the end.
Here she is doing the fingers.
After all the ligher areas are scraped out, the rough draft is complete.

The pumpkin is then empied and a hole cut in the back to put a light in.
After some final scraping, it is finished.
But to get the full effect, one must turn out the lights in the room.
The arist and her wonderful creation!
