Christmas Fruit Carvings – a variety of great ideas

By Nita Gill on December 20, 2015 in Christmas, Holidays, Student Carver Stories 1

We’ve got many examples of Christmas fruit carvings through out this blog. Here is a variety of beautiful ideas created mostly by members of our video lessons. Perhaps one or more of these carving ideas will be just right for your Christmas celebrations.

This first Christmas carving arrangement was made by a customer/student Carolyn Clark.

Hi, Nita- thought I would share an arrangement I made for my garden club holiday luncheon – carved onions…everyone was amazed!

This lovely Christmas themed arrangement of carved onion flowers was created by customer/student Carolyn Clark.

The addition of some Christmas tree clippings and holy berries to Carolyn’s carved onion flowers make this arrangement perfectly festive for Christmas. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Carolyn Clark is a member of my Vegetable and Fruit Carving 101 Course for Beginners. In a previous email to me she wrote,

I have enjoyed your videos and now have a new hobby!

One of my customers Rose Flores sent in this lovely nativity scene watermelon. Rose has shared several carvings of hers with us over the years. Her carvings are always well thought out, well executed and creative.

You can learn to carve designs and letters onto watermelons in our video lessons Carving Letters and Words.and our Pattern Transfer Fabric makes it easier to carve complex patterns like this one by Rose.

This pretty Christmas tree fruit arrangement was made by customer/student Mira Frunza. Isn’t it sweet?

I am living in Long Island-NY and I bought the 101 Course a couple of months ago. Thank you very much for the awesome and thorough job you did explaining on the DVDs each step that has to be done. 🙂

Respectfully,

Mariano Orozco is a one of my favorite carvers when it comes to carving images and words onto watermelons. He has a lovely way of gently scraping away just enough rind to leave some areas of his carved patterns a nice medium to light green. His watermelon carvings always look so precise, clean and beautifully embellished.

Mariano Orozco is a professional carver who is a member of most of my video lessons. I always love to see what he comes up with next.

I enjoy seeing the creations of all of the members of my video lessons. If you are a member who has not yet shared photos, I’d love to see some of your creations.

This last Christmas carving was created by Heinz Albert. It’s yet another great Christmas carving idea.

This pretty candle was carved on a squash by Heinz Albert. The green skin of the squash was left as the pretty green leaves and bow.

I love the way it looks when it’s lit from inside. Isn’t it beautiful?

Thank you to Heinz, Mariano, Mina, Rose and Carolyn for sharing their lovely Christmas fruit carvings.

I hope that their carvings have given you some great ideas that you can put to use.

What Customer/Students are Saying about Nita’s Lessons

“I am happy to share with you some of my latest projects, some of which you teach in your videos. The unique tea set and all other objects in the picture are all made out of fruits and vegetables. I hope you enjoy them.

The green cup is made from a mini honeydew melon, the red one from a beet, the kettle from papaya, the plates from pumpkin and turnip, the napkin from turnip.”

“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

Yolanda Diaz - Student and Carver

“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.”
