Amazing Musical Fruit Carvings

By Nita Gill on August 29, 2013 in Birthday, Misc Occasions, Pro Carver Stories 2

Musical fruit carvings are a great way to celebrate birthdays, graduations and other events, especially for musicians!

I’ve received several photos from my students and followers who have created wonderful examples of musical fruit carvings. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve shared Imaginative Musical Vegetable Carvings and Watermelon Carvings by Arturo Garcia and now I have a few more photos to share with you.

These photos showcase the creativity and skill of these amazing fruit carvers. If you’re looking for musical fruit carving ideas, these should serve as inspiration.

Musical Fruit Carvings by Pro Fruit Carver, Carl Jones

Professional fruit carver, Carl Franklin Jones, created these musical fruit carvings for the prestigious Peabody College at Vanderbilt in Nashville. The caterer was the fabulous Monica Holmes of “Clean Plate Club.”

What a blast working with such a trendsetting and passionate caterer! This graduation brunch was for 3,000 people. Yep, THREE THOUSAND. It was flawless. The food was amazing. Chris Holmes’ culinary team is incredible. This brought a lot of joy to many people, especially me!”

Carl also carved an arrangement for Ivanka Trumps wedding.

More Musical Fruit Carvings

I met Svetlana when she was a student and now she is an accomplished professional fruit carver. Here is one of her lovely carvings with a musical theme for a Sweet 16 birthday.

The carving detail of the watermelon is simply exquisite. The thoughtful arrangement design and the vibrant colors of the fruit platter really makes this fruit tray outstanding.

I received the following photo from Reejsinghani on my Facebook page. To follow Vegetable Fruit Carving on Facebook, please click here: www.facebook.com/vegetablefruitcarving.com

These carvings are so creative and do a great job of integrating several types of fruit.

Although this drum was sent to me without any identification of the artist, it’s so creative that I just had to share it.

It’s unknown to me who created this drum set, but it’s a great example of musical fruit carvings.

Ray Duey, who is a long time prolific professional carver, posted this watermelon drum photo on my Facebook page. In Ray’s caption he wrote, “A little something I whipped up today. I’m feeling a little “beat”. Cute, huh?

Today, just as I was about to post this article, I stumbled across this flower arrangement of a guitar. I know it’s not fruit but it is art and it is pretty. I wish I know the artist so I could give credit.

What do you think of these carvings and arrangements? I think musical fruit carvings are certainly impressive and fun!

What Customer/Students are Saying about Nita’s Lessons

“I placed an order on the 30th of April this year for my first purchase of the 11 week course and my Kom Kom knife set. Well, here we are in July the 22, 2013, 3 months later, these are my creations. I also purchased the DVD with Jimmy Zhang. I thank you for all that you and Jimmy has taught in these easy to follow demonstrations. I have a brain on overload when I go into a produce shop. I look at produce in another light….I have included some of my photos for your viewing. I enjoy and love watching, simple in produce, produce come to life, under the aid of carving tools, mixed with unlimited imagination, something so beautiful. I do get the WOW’s and OMG!!!, and more with the displays. I give away most to very grateful people. And lastly, thank you for making mistakes, I learn from them….I do also, I will, and always will, learn from mine also. Kindness and Blessings to you! Sue

“I have just started my little event decorating business. This is a passion of mine which with your help I am trying to pursue. At first as you might remember, I was skeptical in purchasing the program, I am in my second week and from the minute I received my tools I started and I have never been happier.

This is the best thing I did for my career. Your videos are simple, clear and excellent. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for being honest . You deliver what you promised and in this day and age, that is extremely valuable, to come across someone who delivers what she promised , and much more. I pray for your success, you have the skills and you deserve it.

….If people do some research on line (like I did) they would realize that your program is “The Best” there is….. More power to you Nita, your family should be very proud of you. I am so satisfied that you can post what ever I wrote and use it in your blog or advertising in any shape or form you need it. You have my blessing and authorization. You make me proud, as a woman.”

“I want to thank you for your videos and lessons, I have learned a lot. I have been carving for some time now, and I found that your lessons are very informative, I found specially helpful when you include some “mistakes” that can happen and how to fix them.” Yolanda
