About

I am Jay Ball, pumpkin carver extraordinaire and father of seven. It must be a sign that I am a family man when there are pictures of my children in my wallet where my money used to be. I enjoy writing, reading, pondering, and drawing when I find time for it.

Oh, and I like pumpkin carving too

Share and Enjoy:

Ever since I dropped a candle into my first carved pumpkin of my niece (Courtney) - from a pattern I created myself - I�ve been hooked. The carved gourd that looked like a bunch of cut out random shapes was suddenly transformed.

Here I was, hacking away at this pumpkin with a fine saw, and having no idea how all this work was going to turn out. I had no way to tell, while I was working on it, what the result would be.

Then I added light and brought life to that which had been dead. The glowing masterpiece was captivating. The creator and the creation sat staring at each other in silence and awe.

I didn�t realize I had created a monster.
And the monster was me.

Welcome to the addictive habit of pumpkin carving.
