Examples of celebrity faces she has carved include: Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone, Julia Roberts, Al Pacino, Alice Cooper, Scarlet Johannson and Daniel Craig. “I love creating the celebrity faces most of all because I never know if they will turn out until I’m done and light the pumpkin,” she said.East, who has carved professionally for Jagermeister and Country Living Magazines, said each pumpkin can take an hour or two to complete, depending on whether it’s shaved or carved right through.“I either find a pumpkin pattern I like, or a photograph of a person and print out two copies,” she said.
