Every year, I carve a watermelon for the 4th of July. (Ironically, I don’t like fruit.) I had no idea what to make, so I just started carving swirls. It turned out to be the least practical fruit basket ever… you had to remove the decorative top part eat the fruit… but if you lifted it off, the fruit spilled everywhere since it was keeping everything in place. It’s a good thing Susie wasn’t there to see engineering give way to art. (Hey, does anyone know how to play Finlandia?!)
There's only one word for your new creation, GB - FABULOUS! a conceptual masterpiece. When I first saw it I thought it was a brain.
