Watermelon Carvings, Arts, Shapes

Watermelons remind me of summer with my grandparents. Out on their picnic table, hot and humid. The perfect taste of a nice fresh watery watermelon. I can remember the smell. Every time I cut one open it reminds me of those times. Perhaps that's why I find these watermelon carvings so inspiring. They are artistic, creative, inspiring of my favorite summer fruit! There are great carving videos, check them out too. Need a watermelon carving book? There are some here. Some of these could only be done with a watermelon. Hope these inspire your carving creativity.

    Wow, some of those sculptures are mind-blowing. I think I liked ships best, but the Death Star comes close second :) Well done for digging them up.

    Beautiful page. You know I had a book on fruit carvings...that's when I realized I have NO artistic ability with fruit. LOL

    In summer there are times when I literally live on watermelons. I also enjoy watermelon carvings and a long time ago I was even thinking of making a lens on the topic. But you did a wonderful job so I'll work on my other ideas instead. Blessed! :)

    These are wonderful. I so admire the creativity. My favorite is the rose one, but they are all very impressive.

    Wow! These are really something. I have to say the "Owl Watermelon" is my fav since I have a large collection of owl stuff but that "Monster" one is something! Thanks for sharing these! Lensrolling to red fruits! :)
