As you may have seen in the October issue, Nikki McClure, talented paper cut artist, created an amazing pumpkin stencil for Sunset readers.  All of us at Sunset are such huge fans of Nikki that when she agreed to work in a whole new medium for us (pumpkins vs paper!) we were beyond thrilled. The results were beautiful and perfectly Nikki.  Try it out at home yourselves and send us photos....

It was an honor for me to travel up to Olympia, WA for the photo shoot at Nikki's home & studio and I wanted to share some of the photos that didn't make it into the issue. (If editors had their druthers, every issue would be at least twice as long as they are now!) All photos are by Jose Mandojana. Enjoy!

And a heartfelt thank you to Apartment Therapy's 'The Kitchn' for doing a Nikki McClure post and including the Haunt pumpkin! Read it HERE.

Beautiful design, thanks for sharing! My husband created a similar style pumpkin for my daughter's first Halloween. We hope to recreated one this Halloween for both our kids. I work with ReadyMade and have found some other Holiday crafts

Wow - that's turning pumpkin carving into an art! Love it!

Our pumpkin wasn't half as beautiful as Nikki's, but she did inspire me to break out of the standard jack-o-lantern mold!
