For Liza Slaughter Barker of Hendersonville, gearing up for fall means something unique.
Slaughter Barker is “crazy about Halloween,” and although she sculpts year-round with oil-based clay and even chocolate and cakes, this time of year means working with a seasonal specialty: intricately carved three-dimensional pumpkins.
Her 3D pumpkin sculptures step away from the typical jack-o'-lantern mold to resemble realistic faces and characters.
“Normal people faces get boring,” she told The Tennessean last year.
Slaughter Barker — who likes to hang onto her “Halloween-y” maiden name, Slaughter — is showcasing her pumpkin-carving skills on Food Network’s “Halloween Wars,” kicking off its ninth season Sunday, Sept. 29.
