Watermelon Carving. Skills Training

>>  9/29/2013

I bought the small watermelon at a local farmer market, and was surprised when I found it was without seeds and perfect for carving. So I kept it for training.

Since the time of my carving study at Malisa school in Thailand I wanted to try the learned soap carving designs in watermelon.

The imported watrmelons are big and hard to carve. Last week I broke two thai knives while carving on it skin. That is a terriblre loss. They were my favorite knives, one Triangle knife and one was thai...

But this local watrrmelon is just from my dreams, very soft and good for carving small details.So I did this soap design in it. You can compare the two designs and tell me which you like, in soap or in watermelon.

Panda Apple Sculpture

>>  9/02/2013

When you want to make someone smile ask me for a cute fruit sculpture. This is what I offer to my clients. I offer joy. 

This Panda apple sculpture was created for a woman, an owner of a pet shop. She got to a hospital, and her business partner asked me for a nice fruit platter to cheer her up. In order to make the fruit platter special I suggested an apple panda  as a platter decoration because the name of the pet shop was Panda. The shop also uses panda image for a logo. 

The fruit Panda is completely made of apples. I know what you think. Who dares to eat it? No needs to eat the Panda. There are lot of tasty fruits on the platter. The Panda is a decoration though it is entirely edible together with the green apples it sits on.

You will learn how to do the apple Panda from my PDF tutorial "Cute Fruit Sculptures For Children"
