Mickey Jack O Lantern Pattern?

[jmcross]

I wasn't sure which board to post this question on. I'm looking for a pattern to put on a pumpkin so I can have a Mickey Jack O Lantern. Does anyone have any idea on where I could find one?

Thanks,

Joanne

I have one but I do not know how to get it to you!!

Thanks for your response, dck12ga! Probably too late to mail it now. I guess I should have asked sooner.

Does anyone know of a Website for the Mickey pattern?

Use GOOGLE and do a search for Disney clip art. I copied and saved, then printed, several Mickey faces. I'm a decent artist, so I used a pen and sketched his face on the pumpkin, then I scraped him. With a candle inside, Mickey grins at me every evening. My daughter is not so good at drawing, so she taped the picture on the pumpkin, then used an awl to poke through the paper and follow the lines of the picture. Remove the paper and follow the holes to carve your picture. Good luck....we've been doing this every year for the last ten or so. It's one of our family's most fun activities.

I have one but I do not know how to get it to you!!

If you have a scanner at home you can scan it into a .pdf and email it to her.

Oh and if you do this, I would love one as well!

I just took a look at the Disney Visa site and could not find anything. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction?

Here is the website that I got it from, go to 'carvings' and then cartoon/kids patterns and there is a Disney folder. Enjoy

For a low-tech Mickey, just do three circles.

Is this website working for anyone? I tried looking but it says it is for member's only?

I did carvingpumpkins.com this weekend and the pumpkins came out great. We did Mickey and Cinderella. DD4 was thrilled.

It seems that the site is closed unless you want to pay the member's fee. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm ready to do some carving this weekend!

Joanne, if you are talking about www.carvingpumpkins.com , there is a member area, but most of the patterns are free. If you click on the links on the left side of the home page all of those patterns are free.

Update. I was there a couple of minutes ago (after Misty's post) and I had no problems, but I tried to refresh the page and I got the message that Misty and Joanne got

We are Very Sorry...

Due to overwhelming traffic to this web site, we are not longer able to offer our free patterns this year. Our server has repeatedly crashed due to the heavy load, and we have not been able to service our paying Members.
Members will still be able to access the site via the link below. The entire site will be available to our paying members.

Update to my update. I was able to get in through the links that shnerk and Maria gave. But I would not count on those working for long. Be sure to get your patterns soon!

 

[jmcross]

Wow! Thanks everyone! I got the full body Mickey pattern through the link. Now I have a question and I hope you expert pumpkin carvers can help.

If I trace around the head and cut the head outline out of the pumpkin, how do the facial features show up? Part of the pattern is grey and part of it is black. I'm assuming that I only cut out the solid black pieces but I'm not sure how to do the rest.

I can't get into the Website to get the directions that probably explain the pattern.

I'm hoping that I don't sound like an idiot here.

Thanks for your help!
