Yes, I cut myself. I didn't say anything and tried to hide it. I went and got the gloves that are supposed to protect you from knife cuts. But I bled through it. So, I exchanged glove hands. The finger bled through that. So I went to the nurse and the finger wouldn't stop bleeding. When it did, we put a bandage on it. I blamed it on the gloves, saying it was to hard to carve wearing gloves.
Anyway, my carving isn't very distinguishable. It's kind of a mess. But the photo is fantastic!!! It's on top of this post. Believe me when I tell you that it really looks nothing like that.
Lesson learned. I will never enter another watermelon carving contest. And sorry, I won't stop peeling and carving towards me. I'll just me more careful.
