Looking for some free Holidays and Seasonal Freebies?A jack-o’-lantern (sometimes also spelled Jack O’Lantern) is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday Halloween, and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus or jack-o’-lantern. In a jack o lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved onto the outside surface, and the lid replaced. At night a light is placed inside to illuminate the effect. The term is not particularly common outside North America, although the practice of carving lanterns for Halloween is.
Pumpkin carving is getting more popular with each passing year. That’s a clear cut fact. Less than a generation ago, triangle-eyed jack-o-lanterns dominated porches on All Hallow’s Eve. But these days, all sorts of elaborate designs are being attempted in pumpkin flesh.
From intricate cut-out patterns, to multi-level shading, to outright 3D sculptures you might expect to find in a museum art exhibit.
