On the 8th of September Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, my hometown, celebrated 130 year anniversary since the time it was found in 1882. For these 130 years the city has changed 3 names as Vladimirovka, Toyohara and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The city has belonged to Russia, then to Japan and after all to Russia again. The city has an interesting history. Many cultures have mixed here in one multinational community.
But my story today is about vegetable carving displays what we made for the CityDay. I asked two of my students to help with the exhibition. And they made a few crafts too.
I made a bird sitting on a pumpkin tower. I carved carnations out of beetroot using the technique learned from
Mr.Chat Kunsri at the III Thai Carving Event in Tokyo.

At the Alley of Art I bought books about Sakhalin history. One was an album with photographs of the city places in old times and nowdays.

What a fun event! Your carvings (as well as those of your students) and your displays are eye-catching. I hope you handed out lots of business cards with your contact info!
Kathleen, you are right! That day I collected about 50 phone numbers of the people interested in the carving class and my presentations. I also made a couple of presentations at schools after the exhibition.
Sofia, Louise, Glamorous Mommy, thanks for stopping by!
This Halloween activity is very interesting. We don't do it here in our place, maybe because we find it unethical to carve pumpkins as if we're making fun of a vegetable. But seriously, I am amazed with how talented those who could carve. Thanks for these pumpking carving ideas . I would love to list them on my collection please. Cheers and good day always!
