The Culling of the Mold

After much procrastination, refrigerator horrors, and a giant mess I present to you some finalized photographs of my Bizarre Jell-o molds!

As predicted, my Green Bean Casserole mold didn't work out because I forgot to grease the mold. It also didn't set very well so it was much mooshier than the other molds. If I were to ever do it again (and I won't be!!!!), I would probably skip the bread crumbs because they all sunk to the bottom of the mold and perhaps is the reason the consistency was so weird. I haven't finished the Collard Greens molds yet, but hopefully I will have time to do it before they shrivel up :P

This weekend I'm going to be working on some collages using french fashion magazines from the 1960s and I will also be hosting a Candy Party. Anyone who knows me personally is welcome to come :D! We will be watching Willy Wonka, eating a lot of candy, playing Candy Land, and dressing up in bright candy colors or costumes! Hope to see you there, and if not, I will maybe post some pictures on Monday.

Last night, my dear friend Scott helped me make some more Jell-o creations for my upcoming photoshoot (I haven't come up with a name for the series yet) where I will taking pictures of gelatin-encased foods that would not normally be served in mold form (not even in the 50s!)

Here are my ingredient previews:


The pickle-mold was inspired by Dr. Seuss and his movie, 5000 Fingers of Dr. T :)


And this is where you should start getting very scared:



Scott and I were very disturbed by the smell of this dish, but luckily for everyone reading this, there is no smell-o-vision on this blog :)

Enjoy! I will be shooting this weekend, so hopefully I will get some of my finished pieces up next Monday.
