We Have Often Seen Orange Carved Pumpkins,

and carved melons with green skin and red interiors,


but this is a first for us when Ray Villafane attended a pumpkin festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany, we have never seen a Halloween face made using a Hubbard squash, master sculptor Ray Villafane and his crew at Villafane Studios have just started traveling all over the world again to create their masterful works of art...all on pumpkins! From September 19 to 22nd, they were in Ludwigsburg, Germany to attend the biggest pumpkin festival in all of Europe, called Kürbisausstellung, while there, Ray decided to create a few Messerschmidt-inspired pieces, this time, he carved not onto traditional pumpkins, but onto Hubbard squash, 

from September 26 to 29th, Villafane then hopped on over to the Jucker Farm in Zurich, Switzerland, where he spent the last few days carving more hubbards, as he stated about the pieces above "Meet the Hubbards. Hans and Heinrich Hubbard, I really love working with these Hubbard squash, it is a refreshing break from the standard pumpkin', for more of his work follow this link to his studio, he also features artworks in sand and toys, some people are just so talented.
