The easiest way to prepare a design is with a simple sketch on paper. I prefer Mars All-Purpose Translucent Vellum or 9 x 12 Mediumweight Sulfite Drawing Paper, but the back of a To-Go menu from a Chinese Restaurant will also work.

This is the flowing blood design, which has a ghoulish pumpkin face with blood flowing down the front.

I planned to have five spouts along the top for the blood to emerge from, so that the blood would flow down all over instead of just one stream down the center. According to the plan, the blood would collect on a plate below the pumpkin, to be pumped back up to the top.

When I am not carving pumpkins, I run the world's most private drugstore. ShopInPrivate.com
Also, last year, my company took over RomanticGifts.com, so if you need a romantic gift for Christmas, a birthday or an anniversary, please consider our wonderful store.
My co-workers and I run the biggest store for bachelorette party items in the world. It is lots of fun. We have fun jobs.
