They are incredible, but what's the point?

Speedy - how on earth did you find them? The internet is a weird + wonderful place, but sometimes a little scary :-\

Well, having too much time on my hands myself (!) at lunchtime I was surfing about and found the link on another website.

They are amazing, and must take ages to carve. How does the artists stop them going off before he/she is finished?

I've seen Thai ladies carving soap into rose shapes - so delicate + vey like some of the watermelons. They're very quick at it.
