Pumpkin Stencils Can Suck It
If I hear “Look at this creativity!” regarding a pumpkin that was carved using one of those paint-by-number-esque carving stencils, I’m gonna lose it. Creativity? You mean tearing it out of the book, and tracing it? Pfft. Call me a snob, but that ain’t creativity. Do these people not know that such stencils exist? Do I need to clear the air? “Ya, it’s real nice. He carved it half-drunk with his left hand using a stencil, but ya… it’s creative.”
Here are the pumkins I painted for our non-contest at my work. Somehow the stenciled pumpkin still got the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs.’
