Vintage Design in Watermelon

This heart design in watermelon reminds old-fashioned wedding cards. Just imagine a pair of cupids playing around the watermelon for the complete picture. Oh, this is a great idea! I will try to carve angels next time ;)

There are a rose wreath on the watermelon top and my favorite apple carvings. Roses are carved of beet-root. 

Tools:

Thai knife  for carving roses in watermelon and apple carvings

Knife for removing watermelon skin

U-shape knife for the watermelon edge

Today I tryed on a new hairdress with complicated braids. I made a picture series on a mobile phone. I am looking here like my grandma early in life :)

Football Watermelon Carving

A fun watermelon carving made at weekends.  A soccer ball (or a football) in a watermelon was my dream over years. Some times ago I tryed this idea in apple and failed. That time I got confused with the cells and broken the design. 

If you are going to carve a football watwermelon one day mind the fiollowing tips:

• watermelon shape to be ideally round
• a football consists of 32 cells. 12 black cells and 20 white cells.
• black cells are pentagans, white cells are hexagons.

Footbal watermelon and apples

Edible prize. This could be a sport theme fruit arrangement

I couldn't resist making a few photos with the football/soccer watermelon. Posing with it was enjoyable :)


I sent the Football Watermelon to the Watermelon Carving Contest 2012 (vote here).
