Peacock From a Melon

This lesson was made for my carving class.

To make a peacock like this one you take a melon, some grapes and an orange. A regular knive is the only tool you need for carving it.

Scratch a melon in a shape of your bird and cut it out.

Make feathers with a bamboo skewer and some grapes and orange slice. Insert feathers into the melon to complete a peacock train.

Set your bird in a garden. Make flowers from a pepper and callas from cabbage.
