Christmas and New Year’s Carvings

I realize that the holidays have already passed when I published this post. But better late than never, right? I wanted to show off some Christmas and New Year’s Carvings created by a few of my customer/students over the holidays.

Maybe these ideas will serve you for next holiday season. Imagine how delighted your friends and family would be to see YOUR carvings like these on your table.

New Year’s Carvings

Student, Customer Wilma Silva made this creative clock melon carving for a New Years Eve celebration.

Here’s Wilma proudly sharing her work of watermelon art.

Christmas Carvings and more

You can learn to carve words and graphic patterns onto melons with our Carving Letters and Words video lessons. Petals patterns are taught in our Melon Carving, Smooth and Jagged Petals lessons. Our Thai Pro knives are ideal for these types of carvings.

In Australia, watermelons are in season at Christmas time. Student/customer Strato Cotsilinis in Australia made this lovely Merry Christmas melon carving. The addition of Maraschino cherries is a festive touch.

Student’s Christmas Candy Serving Plate and Bowl

Peggy Jossund took the candy plate instructions shown in a previous blog post and created her own variation of the idea using many different types of candies. Isn’t it pretty?
