The simple tools of an artist


Dalhke meticulously etches out three faces into the 200 pound pumpkin without gloves on the brisk late October afternoon


Dahlke, once an ice sculptor, hard at work on his creation pays close attention to detail and carves faces into the teeth


hildren look on, mesmerized by the faces carved into the giant pumpkin and the promise of Halloween
