Winter Sports In Fruits. Olympics 2014

It's Sport theme again.

Fruit platter with Olympic symbol and sculptures of a figure skater a snowboard rider, inspired by logos of winter sports. The sculptures have small detail, that made the white figures look intresting.

I made this display today for a sport theme party.

In my point of view, snowboard and figure skating are the most exciting sport shows. 

Other reason why I chose those sports for my display is that I myself tried them. I did skating and skiing a lot when I was a schoolgirl. 

Now I prefer swimming and yoga. And I am learning a dance of Shiva at my yoga class these days.

What is your favorite winter sport? Do you watch the Olympics 2014 from Sochi?

Recently there are lot of snow around the world. This is a good oportunity to start a winter sport for pleasure!

Fruit Mosaic Technique. Olimpic Symbol and Logo

The fruit displays were done for Christmas party of Midglen Logistics Sakhalin company.

I was asked to create a fruit buffet in olympic theme. The design should also express a corporate spirit.
So I suggested the olimpic symbol for a big fruit platter and company logo for watermelon carving design.

I used a mosaic technique for the olympic platter and a big fruit medal with logo image.

No special tools required.

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).
