If you’ve not seen the Karyn Poplin Pumpkins by the Texas based carver, you’re missing out on some serious Halloween art. After all, she’s frequently a winner of pumpkin carving contests and her jack-o-lanterns have been featured on many a site.
Karyn Poplin Pumpkins
Tiffany Shade Pumpkin:
Spooky Forest Pumpkin:
Halloween and pumpkin carving is a family event for them. Together Karyn and her clan carve tons as many pumpkins as they can (the number has steadily grown to over 50) and display them at their home in Saginaw, Texas and as of this year a new, second location in Crowley, TX.
According to Karyn, “We use stencils, but sometimes we make our own patterns. We use the simple tools that come in the Pumpkin Masters pattern sets, and yes, we use real pumpkins.”
Carousel Pumpkin:
In 2010, their “Haunted Carousel” pumpkin (above) won 1st place in a nationwide contest, so they began a Facebook page to help spread the word of their work and to encourage visitors to come by the house and take photos of all the hard work they put into the annual holiday.
