July 6, 2012 - Melon Carving
Artists have always interested me mostly because I have no ability like they do. I can appreciate it, but create - nope.
I can't seem to find any more info about this though. Found here

Gorgeous! I've always wished I could create beautiful visual things. I don't have ability that way so I create fiber things - weaving, spinning. The tactile aspect is very satisfying. But I'd love to be able to draw/paint/sculpt.

I really enjoy melon carvings, too. I love the use of light in the leaded-glass carving style.
Most styles seem so easy, but they really are a lot trickier than they look!

After reading Dana's comment, in reference to melons, all I can think of is 'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" from Dr. Demento...

I swear I don't have a watermelon fetish, but here's another - all in the same day.
I'll dedicate this one to my fav pregnant Aussie - Ali.

Those ones in the first post are seriously super bad-ass. Reminds me of those book carvings.
Or a super intricate jack-o-lantern. But edible.
