Fun With Giant Fruit

Snapshots from a field trip to Studio Spécialités in Little Italy - where it's Christmas all year 'round and you can buy a giant fake cauliflower for 150$... and so much more. The fake food cart was by far my favorite, and there are enough Christmas trees to blow your mind. The window display people all get their goods here, and they supply the snow for the Ogilvy's traditional Christmas window display.

You all know I love fake cakes.

I haven't posted in a while, but here's something I made up while taking notes in class:

Haggletooth Snafu

My friend Adam and I made some drawings on post-its at  his garage sale a couple of weekends ago while waiting for customers. Adam's great blog can be viewed here - he takes strangers from Craigslist on field trips around Montreal and photographs them.

And some pictures of food:

Travel-Lodger and The Other Old Codger

Wonderful work from artist Judith G. Klausner.

More Newfoundland posts to come later... I've got lots of stuff to post and not a lot of equipment to do it with (but I'm working on it).

In very recent news: I just acquired a very beautiful, mint-condition 1970s turquoise Brother knitting machine.... be still my heart.
