4th of July carving

This is a 4th of July carving in which I used food coloring. I first carved out the eagle's head. I didn't carve very deep because I wanted to experiment using food coloring. Once I got the basic shape I shaved off most of the dark green skin so the color would show up better. 

I then put a flag pattern around the outside of the eagle. Once I was happy with the design I started to add food coloring. It was a bit difficult to color on the watermelon because the texture and the moisture of the fruit caused the color to spread. The color kept leaking from one part to the others. I was pretty happy with the overall result, but I need to figure out how to stop the color from spreading.
