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!





Pickle Mold, Digital Print, 8"x10", 2010.

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.

Saladdin Sane

I still haven't taken pictures of anything because I have been too lazy to get my lights out to take a decent picture.

In other, slightly more important, news--I bring you a few scans that are inspiring my current photo project!

I have a passionate love for visual effect of molded food. C'est très grotesque!

Expect to see images very soon inspired by the following scans from an issue of Better Homes and Gardens:



The idea of eating such a thing by itself isn't so horrible (it's basically just fruit and gelatin... not so strange), but the idea of eating it with sliced ham or fried chicken was a bit weird... the fact that the center was filled with mayonaisse was what really made it gross-out quality for me.


HIGH-AND-HANDSOME?! That is all.



My favorite part about this image is the name: "Snowy Chicken Confetti Salad." Sounds cheery doesn't it? I'm sure it is quite cheery... right until the point where all of your guests spew their guts from putting it near their faces!



This last one is by far my favorite retro food image I've ever found based soley on the page's title sentence.

I hope you enjoy these images and find them as silly and awesome as I do!
