  3. Very clever! But what are the dragons/fish made of??

    Must take them ages to do - am I a wet blanket to think there must be better ways of spending one's time, and not wasting food???

    Answer: probably yes!

  4. Von: be my guest. I found these on fanpop.com

    Jeannette: I would have a hard time destroying the mashed potato dragon, that is way too cool!

    Geewits: would this be 'guest soaps' for decor only? I used to know people in Switzerland who carved a rosette into the butter before every meal so it never looked messy.

    Sunny: puts my mashed potato and peas mountains to shame.

    Gilly: I wondered that too - I'm guessing cucumber? and hey, an artist works with whatever is at hand!!

  6. I love those! Especially the swimmer rising up out of the watermelon. That's fantastic.

  7. Some people need to be told not to play with their food and some people should be encouraged.
    Unfortunately I'm in the first group.

  11. SueAnn: yes - no reason it can't still be eaten after the masterpiece is created. though it would be difficult.

    SAW: that swimmer is most unusual, isn't it?!

    Gail: I wish I could even think about that kind of creativity!

  12. Dave: I used to make landscapes of mountains of mashed potatoes with gravy rivers and pea houses... and I still had to eat everything on my plate atfter I made an avalanche.

    CJ: they are, aren't they?!

    Jazz: the spray is an especially touching effect.

    Sagittarian: you're on holidays... give it a whirl.

  21. Now, this sort of sculpture I would visit a gallery for. Amazing!

  22. Jenn: I agree

    Susan: watermelon guy seems to be a favourite - maybe it is the surprise element?

    Maggie May: who could eat such art?

    Meggie: I've watched some Japanese chefs do wonders with food. did you keep the soap carvings for yourself, since they were underappreciated?

    Jan: let the artist in you be unleashed. melons beware!

    Lena: you'd have to move fast - before deterioration made a sculpture of a different sort!
