WHEN YOU\u2019RE NOT CARVING WATERMELON, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?<\/span>I had the chance to catch up with the Staten Island-native to find out how she got into carving and what\u2019s next for her.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a journalist finishing up my last semester of school. I also have a side business selling four leaf clovers!<\/p>\n<p>WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START CARVING WATERMELON?<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, I saw a carved watermelon online and immediately wanted to try my hand at it. I was decent at carving pumpkins, so it looked like a fun challenge.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT SORT OF CARVINGS DO YOU LIKE TO CREATE?<\/p>\n<p>All my creations have been for events, so I make sure that the watermelon carving fits the occasion. For instance, my designs include a church logo for a barbeque, a \u201c50\u201d for a birthday hangout, and a track shoe for a teammate\u2019s grad party. I\u2019ll note that none of these were commissioned \u2014 most weren\u2019t even expected by the guests.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT\u2019S BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE WATERMELON CARVING?<\/p>\n<p>Probably my first one because I still get flack about the circumstances of its making. I have a twin sister and so we shared a high school graduation party. On the day of the party, I spent about four hours making the watermelon while she labored to set up for the party. She wasn\u2019t happy about that.<\/p>\n<p>WHEN IT COMES TO EATING WATERMELON, DO YOU PREFER CHUNKS OR WEDGES?<\/p>\n<p>Definitely chunks!<\/p>\n<p>WHAT\u2019S NEXT FOR YOU AS A CARVER? WHAT WILL YOU BE CARVING THIS YEAR?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see what I get invited to! Once I figure out the occasion, I\u2019ll try to make a fitting design while attempting something new.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>UP NEXT: A FASCINATING AND DELICIOUS HISTORY LESSON<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrienne Scrima is just one semester away from officially being an alumna of Grove City College in western Pennsylvania.
