How to carve watermelon

Love how watermelons have all the layers of colors to work with starting with the green rind that leads into the pale green, then white of the inner rind to the lighter pinkish red of the fruit than often gets to be a deeper red as in gets deeper into the fruit of the watermelon. These multiple layers of color make watermelons probably the most favored melon to carve with.
Also, the fact that watermelons can grow quite large and does not have a hollow center also makes them a versatile fruit to carve.

When creating a watermelon carving, you can carve beautiful red flowers with white tipped petals. You can leave thin edges of green rind to make green tipped leaves or petals. You can leave large surfaces of green rind and carve designs and logos revealing the white part of the rind for contrast. Or you can do the reverse leaving green letters and designs that contrast against the white inner rind.

The art of watermelon carving is an varied as there are people who carve watermelons, limited only by imagination.

While writing this I realize that talking about watermelon carving is like trying to describe a sunset. Words just don’t do justice to the actual beauty of it.
