Ray Villafane's 3D Pumpkin Carving Tutorials (Kickstarter Project)

This cool sounding project is, as of this writing, about 20% funded with little over a month remaining. I'm defiantly going to make a pledgeonce I figure out which level to choose (that $100 pledge premium looks mighty sweet but I may have to face economic reality and stick with the $25 DVD pledge)

From the Kickstarter Project Page:

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

If you thought Halloween and pumpkin carving was fun before...wait until you discover the magic that lies just beneath the rind. Get ready to unlock the 3D potential!

I plan on creating a set of DVD's that will benefit ANYBODY looking to become a better pumpkin carver! As a former kindergarten-12 Art teacher, I intend on including a couple of tutorials geared towards those individuals whom find even cutting triangles into a pumpkin challenging. Armed with some simple kid friendly tools (which can be easily purchased at stores for for just a couple of dollars) we will start off with some simple bare bone designs that begin to touch on the joys of going 3D!...
