Gill-Cut Tralalero Tralala Pumpkin on a Dim Porch

This Tralalero Tralala pumpkin carving adds three hollow gill slits and divided shoe sole slots separated by rind ribs to the shark design, giving it far more detail than the beginner version. The eye, jaw, gills, and sole slots are all hollow through-cuts, while the body, fin, tail, and sneaker contours stay as shallow backed relief. Cut the gill slits with a narrow blade to keep the thin rind strips between them intact, and work from the top of the fish down so the pumpkin stays stable in your lap.
