Haha, it’s been cold enough here that mine are just starting to mold.

 

[Reefer Reboot]

Yes, I carved it out of two pumpkins.
Wife texted me pictures from the store to choose from, (the two circled ones.)

In the cart with another little guy for something else,

Turned into this,

I started out with the intention of making an octopus but realized it had ten arms. Changed the plan to a squid but when it was made it just looked more like a starfish. So that's what I'm calling it.

Mine molded just 2 days after carving. I have since read that regular 'ol petroleum jelly rubbed in the cut areas helps with this, but what about the whole inside?? Are you supposed to do inside too?
