imalittleteapot Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi, all! I'm a big fan of pumpkin carving and sharing my research. So I was thinking, if people can share their research with haiku, wouldn't it be fun to share your research through the medium of a jackolantern? I invite everyone to take a little break, go pick a pumpkin, and carve the main subject or idea of your research into it. Once you carve your pumpkin, we can use flickr to share pictures of our glowing jack o'lanterns with a 1-sentence description. Flickr Group "Jackolantern your research": http://www.flickr.com/groups/1802851@N21/ Who's with me? P.S. Should I put this discussion topic somewhere else? How do I get the idea out there? P.P.S. Don't forget to support local farmers! P.P.P.S. Roast the seeds! carlyhylton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behavioral Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 How does one carve mathematical analytic models on a pumpkin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigen Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Very carefully. I'm thinking of doing some complex DNA structures on mine :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) One of my friends carved a VERY detailed photo of Noam Chomsky onto a pumpkin last year. It took an entire evening but in the end it absolutely looked like a professional did it, really amazing. I'd post a link to a picture if it wouldn't eliminate what little anonymity I still have on this site. His tactic: print the image you would like to carve, tape it to the pumpkin and transfer the outline onto it with a small paring knife, then deepen the lines you created in the first run with a sharper knife. Lather, rinse, repeat. Edited October 20, 2011 by fuzzylogician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJingly Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 If I go by my last rotation, I can make a pumpkin model of notch signaling... and the creative wheels begin to turn.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runonsentence Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) I think this is an amazing idea. Maybe it's all the reading I've been doing over the past two weeks especially, but I can't think of anything I'd rather do than spend an inordinate amount of time carving something dorky into a pumpkin.
