This is our first carving in wood instead of pumpkin - used to illustrate a TagYerit song: Beyond da Feet about how dancers inspire musicians. The automaton couple are carved in walnut and oak. The stand and inner works are made from maple and catalpa woods. | |
Flo carved this pumpkin for a brand new member of the family born in October. As the line in TagYerit's song, "Ali's Song" says: 'You're the one I want on this joy ride!' - perfect line for a carousel merry-go-round. | |
Flo carved three views of the Pirate Bride - so she can proudly show off her tattoos. It was inspired by our nieces anchor tattoo. To recreate these pumpkins in their detail, Flo used jeweler's glasses. As you can see, the ship tattoo, the mermaid tattoo, the "Treasure Chest Key" tattoo and the "anchor & chain" tattoos came out really clear. The skull & crossed swords works really well too, though that was touch and go for a while. The corset lacing on the back of her dress has also been a big hit among the viewers. The song "Pirate Bride" is from TagYerit's 2009 CD "Shimmer". | |
Based on a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In the original story Mother Rigby created a pumpkin headed scarecrow who came to life by smoking on a pipe with special tobacco. In this updated version, Feathertop drives into town on a motorcycle. We would love to see Tim Burton make a movie based on Feathertop. TagYerit carved the pumpkin and then put this together using their song "The Boys" (They Think They're So Heavy) | |
When Courtney asked us to carve her a pumpkin for her wedding, we found so many great images. Since Courtney and Ned met in Shenyang, we carved 4 landmarks, the Olympic Stadium, the Coin Building, The TV Radio Tower and the Imperial Palace. The Chinese characters are a Chinese saying, "100 years marriage forever" and the Phoenix and Dragon represent the Chinese ideal of ying/yang for a good healthy balanced marriage. The fireworks of course are a Chinese invention. All this, along with a globe pumpkin carved by JM Finholt are used for TagYerit's song "Adam & Eve" (from the CD " Heavy Construction" Time: 2:26 (song has been edited down for the video) |

The song "Deranged" is the story of a brokenhearted cowgirl who endlessly roams zombie-like across the plains. Watch as the pumpkin evolves to illustrate the story.
