I participated in a Songkran Festival which celebrates the Thai Traditional New Year and is also known as the Water Festival. A group of us carved fruits and vegetables to make a lovely display table and I thought that you might enjoy these photos. They may give you some inspiration and ideas for carvings of your own.

Wow, amazing carvings! That festival looks fun, my wife and I would love to come to a event like that…hey why don’t you organize something like that and we can come for lessons???
PS Im getting pretty good with my tools…ha…look out master carvers!
Awsome! And what a gift to have a circle of friends to carve with.
It is very beautiful art work, I amazed for you have done with all the fruit. I just wonder how long it take you to do all of that? I guess, I don’t have to go to Thailand to learn fruit and vegetables carving.
I wish I could claim the credit but I was just one of a group of carvers that made all these lovely carvings. A few of the carvers are shown in one of these photos.
Simply magical!
