January Jamboree! - IYP5 Gallery

The fact that vegemite is semi-illegal makes me really want to try some now.

Bigmouth, all the random food art you have in your kitchen reminded me of this lady:

She's made entirely of vegetables. 
Ear=corn (duh)
Eyes=garlic cloves+pinto beans
Eyebrow/eyelid=mushrooms
Hair=Celery on top, Scallions on the sides
Chin=yellow summer squash
cheek=turnip
Neck=carrots
necklace=lentils and pearl onions
Lips=Kidney bean

Random, eh?  I made her like 10 years ago and she's been hidden away in my piles of sketchbooks and early paintings forever.  She's quite 'primitive', since it was done LONG ago.
Dug her out for your food-fetish amusement.

[Bigmouth]

My question, though...when are you going to make and eat the curried spaghetti?!?

Uhhh... When you all come over to eat it?

Bigmouth, all the random food art you have in your kitchen reminded me of this lady:

Yeah!  Were you inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo?

I'm sorry I've made you guys wait so long to see the wonderful package avsceriline sent me! But at long last, heeeere are the goodies!



The wonderfully autumny bag!!! I've already switched all my stuff around to it, and as you can kinda see (in the 1st pic), there's still room for a small project to carry with me! And a closer pic, so you can see the leaves and colors better! Btw, I loooove corduroy!



Next, a beautiful handmade journal! It's so perfect, I'm afraid to write in it!



Last, but not least, Amanda's very first ATC!!! Can you believe it?!?!   It's soo good, I think papercrafts must run in her veins.   I hope you'll be making more ATCs, Amanda!

Thank you SO much for this great package and for your patience!

[ruwena]

Wow lots of great packages!

Can I wist Devilninny's beautiful black cat? 

[Knit_core]

Hmmm...  I might like Vegemite.  The yeasty taste of breads was always my favorite part.  I LOVE Digestive Biscuits!!!!

I only just realised I haven't actually posted on the gallery yet!
Thanks for all the compliments ladies, it was one of those things where I thought it wouldn't take that long- yes, I am delusional. I wanted to embelish it with a fish and some olives (did you all notice the black olives to go with the tuna and the curry powder and the oregano???  ) By the time I got that far I was about to start on the next bit when my boyfriend confiscated all my needles and told me it was time to move on. 4 weeks was enough

I also sent Bigmouth these cards, yes that is a banana you're looking at

and the bouquet is made out of antipasto tiddbits like salami and olives

I also received a teaser package from the lovely Bigmouth to tide me over while my goodies sail across the sea
Check out my awesome coasters- I'm going to tile them on my kitchen wall

Turkey Lime Mould may be the closest competition you will ever find for Curried Spaghetti as the grossest recipe of all time
I think Gourmet gone wrong has been my favourite swap theme ever.

Plus some yummies and some cute blue cherry fabric. Good thing I've got lunch and breakfast 'to go' in case of emergencies. AND I can keep them in my tampon purse!


Thanks Bigmouth, can't wait till the big package comes!!  And congrats on eating the vegemite. With lots of butter or cheese it's the best stuff ever- especially when you're hung over. It is also the world's richest know source of vitamin B, so especially good for vegetarians 

[avsceriline]

I'm so glad you liked everything, raina.storms!

You have started me on the dangerous path to ATC obsession...and I am eternally thankful! :-D

[jane feebles]

And a very nice one it is too. The bag is also great, it's got that texture I'd just keep stroking if it were mine
