A Watermelon by any other name!

Everyjone knows how great a nice cold slice of watermelon tastes on a hot summer day. What's more, it's an excellent source of vitamin C and of beta-carotene.

But if you're looking to do something different with your watermelon at your next party or backyard barbecue, why not try your hand at creating your own piece of watermelon art?

While a carved watermelon takes time to create your efforts will be rewarded when your guests and friends don't stop talking about your creation! All you need is a standard carving tool and of course, patience!

Fruit carving is a long-standing tradition of the Far East; in China, Japan, Thailand, and other Asian countries. Many celebrations and feasts center around beautiful sculptures and fruit adorned with carvings.
