DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Well, it is Halloween, and that means, of course, costumes, candy and pumpkins. Pumpkin carving has turn into a true artform, and so we've invited an artist to be with, chef William Farcely (ph) of the Art Institute of Atlanta.
Good morning, and happy Halloween to you.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Happy Halloween to you as well.

KAGAN: We kind of worked out that you can keep working while I'm talking to you, even though we have sharp implement that they allowed me to get close to, which isn't a good idea around here at CNN. You are working on, right now, lettering?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm working on a logo here, and it's a little bit small, of course. This is a very small pumpkin.

KAGAN: Turn it around, so the camera can see.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The detail is very, very fine. It requires a real sharp knife, with a pointed tip. And the real key here is to not remove any of the skin.

KAGAN: Don't go too deep is what you're saying.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Exactly. And I want a nice relief to really accent that logo.

KAGAN: As you work, what's the biggest mistake that amateurs like myself make when we go to carve the pumpkin?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I would say carving it too soon.

KAGAN: So if you waited until today, it's not about procrastination, it's right timing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Last night would have been the time to start.

KAGAN: Perfect, but even if you haven't done it yet, it's not too late.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Not too late.

KAGAN: In the next hour, we'll keep checking back, and he can tell us what you can do out there if you haven't gotten around to carving that pumpkin yet. We'll show you more great creations and give you some tips just ahead. So we'll let you get back to work.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thank you.

KAGAN: OK, chef William Farcely, and the pumpkins.
