Starry Starry Night Has Never Looked So Delicious!

As a tribute to dear Vincent-only the best artist ever-I reproduced one of his most famous works of art on . . . CUPCAKES! I know, right? What could be better than chocolate cupcakes, ridiculous amounts of frosting, and a magnificent piece of art all in one package! And it was fun to make:D
Here's more or less my semi-blank canvas (although I forgot to take a picture right at the beginning-oops!) After over an hour of wrestling with paste food colouring and spooning sticky frosting into ziplocks, I had my palette . . .
Add a few more hours of piping frosting, a copious amount of plastic cups and frosting containers, and some inspiration (not to mention directions!) from an adorable little cookbook (Hello Cupcake! check it out-www.amazon.com/Hello-Cupcake-Irresistibly-Playful-Creations/dp/0618829253/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271043037&sr=8-1 ) . . .
And a masterpiece emerges!

(Well, a pretty yummy forgery at least.)

The art department is definitely one of the best places on campus and artists are pretty much awesome, so I am glad I had the opportunity to add to the magic that gets created there every day by the talented students and staff:D Leave me a comment (you don't have to have an account) or send me an email at lifeinfullcolour@yahoo.com to let me know what you think, how you're doing, or any ideas you have to bring some beauty to the campus. Happy Monday all!

A Letter a Day. . .

Happy Easter a bit late (that's not the only thing that's late. . .) My creativity has pretty much been in a ditch lately, although that's not excuse for not doing something to make my world a better place. Sooo, this week I went small again, to hopefully get myself geared up for the end of the semester! For the four days of classes we've had, I made a card for someone (that was recommended to me-let me know if you have any friends who might appreciate some encouragement:D) to hopefully give their week a boost. Graduation is coming up and that is ridiculously daunting. The "real world" *shudder*. C, I hope you enjoyed the cards!
Tuesday . . .. . . Wednesday. . .
