Joy Khamma and John Fowler have transformed their North Sydney suburban home into a tropical retreat inspired by South-East Asia. While John focuses on the vibrant variety of coleus, Joy has dedicated years to mastering the delicate art of fruit carving.
The practice involves using various tools to etch geometric patterns, roses, or even maps into hard-skinned fruits like melons and pumpkins. The video provides a practical lesson on using a zig-zag cutting pattern around the edge of a kiwifruit to create an attractive finish.
