Carving. Have you ever carved anything, a fruit, a vegetable, a chicken, or your husband's chest (Ewwww too violent, sorry)?
In this discussion, you will see the skills of some of my Thai students.
***Drum Rolling... Tadaaaaaaaa" Food Carving!
This is just one of the fruits a student carved!
What can you say... buffet?
What grade should I give her?

A medium one. but they really carve almost any kind of fruit. I just didn't get a chance to take photo of each.

@1hopefulman Yup I just hope she will hone more her talents. She lives in the province, she can't speak English that much, I hope she will have a chance to learn more and be exposed.

Very nice at first glance you will not recognize the original fruit it came from. I just wonder if that will be eaten later on. I definitely would not like that to be destroyed in minutes. But I guess they are going to deteriorate later so better consume it. LOL

@Mavic123456 Good to know that. I have seen also those that are ice carved they are so beautiful to look at but they do now last that long especially in our place where it is hot. It usually survives for a few hours then its gone.
