Making Melon Balls, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel, ©2012, Fay Terry
There are directions for a carved watermelon basket that appeared in Southern Living, which you all know is one of my favorite magazines. I made this several times and filled it with melon balls from cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon, and other cut up fruit. It is a time consuming project but beautiful for a party or cookout.
I pulled out this tool for making melon balls and realized it had been a long time since I used it so then I
remembered a much simpler idea, fruit kebabs that you let soak in a syrup made with sugar and mint leaves. I spend a lot less time in the kitchen now that I'm painting every day, so the quicker and easier it is, the more I like it.
Now I'm hungry for watermelon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment on my painting.
DeleteI'm eating more watermelon now that I've discovered the small seedless ones.
