Starting off a busy week here with a post I’ve been looking forward to making. A few months back my daughter Jaina (age 7) decided she wanted to post a project asking people to make faces (or any kind of sculpture) with food. Everything about this project has made me smile, from her idea, to her enthusiasm for the project, to the images she drew to announce Food Art, to the silly faces that appeared in my in box when those of you who obliged sent an email with your creations. I’ve had a great time watching this all come to fruition (semi pun intended!) Right now J is falling asleep knowing I’m putting this post together so that it will appear tomorrow morning (today by the time it’s live) when she wakes up, and I think she’s pretty excited to see what it’s all going to look like.
On her behalf, thanks to those who played along: Andrea, Betsy, Little B, Genie, Mia, J, myself, and especially Noona, Denholm and Dylan who, despite Noona and her younger son Denholm being very sick, forged ahead and found the energy to make silly faces and other food-esque inventions. I am also aware there were several other food art making sessions that took place that ended up devolving into strange and extremely messy concoctions. Nothing was recorded of theses events, but I am pleased as punch because I know much fun was had by all. For those that did document their constructions with edibles, we’ve got a fairground ride, a Brioche Beasty, a Caramel Cow, a Polynesian ‘Mater Bear, artistic Eggplants, Eggheads, Earthwormdirtart, four yellow on the inside foodie faces, a Superfast Jellyfish cookie and several other food sculpture faces to entertain you on this first day of Spring.
FOOD ART!
