Last night I started getting my watermelon ready for the buffet, and my employees kept walking in the back asking what it was going to be. I had been thinking about trying to do a swan, but they all said I had to do something special for Elvisfest. I knew there was no way I was going to be able to carve an Elvis out of a watermelon, but each of my employees suggested that I carve a guitar. I thought okay, maybe, and I did some searching on Google thinking someone must have posted a picture of a guitar watermelon carving. After about 15 minutes of searching, I ended up not finding anything, so I decided to be 100% creative and do it without anything as a reference.
Fortunately I had a nice long watermelon for the project. I drew a few lines and started carving away. For my first off the cuff carving, I thought it turned out okay, and it really fit the event well.
