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.

Shellshock

Hello, everyone!

Here is a little something to whet your appetite:


Oh, what horrors await me in my fridge?! I've begun the first idea in a series of many involving foods that would not be normally gelatinized. It is a light-hearted project meant to poke fun at the amazing 1950s Jell-o... well, everything!

Tonight I made 4 miniature "Pasta Molds" and I'm crossing my fingers that they hold up well enough to photograph them tomorrow night :)

I found an added bonus tonight; I realized the visual delight that is the unformed Jell-o... stew? As I was photographing my process for blogging purposes, I took some great photos I might use as finals!
