ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a stencil adapted for use in transferring an image to a substrate where the image is formed by an ensemble of individual features for a predetermined image. The stencil comprises a sheet of flexible material and a plurality of holes formed through the sheet. The holes are organized in hole sets such that the holes in each such hole set outline a respective individual feature. The hole sets together define the pre-determined image to be transferred. The present invention also includes a kit for use in transferring an image to an outer surface area of a vegetable. The kit comprises a stencil adapted for use in transferring an image to the surface area of the vegetable, a tool adapted to cut first portions of the vegetable, a marker including a marking medium, a set of instructions, and a package that receives the stencil, tool, marker and set of instructions. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a method of forming an image in a fleshy shell of a vegetable. The method comprises the steps of cutting open and cleaning out the vegetable so as to create a shell, securing a pattern sheet to an outer surface area thereof, coloring the pattern sheet with a marking medium to produce a discernable segmented outline, and cutting around each segmented outline and through the shell.
