Eyes and Mushrooms: July 9th to July 19th, 2021

Hey, all! I hope you’re having a great week. For this week’s share, we’ve got some more eyes and mushrooms, and of course SWEETS! Continuing on with the sweets series, it’s been fun to explore how to make food a little evil. One thing I will say – it was kind of tough. I feel like adding eyeballs to inanimate objects is an easy way to make them more sinister, but I didn’t want to utilize them too much, so I started exploring some more.

Aside from eyes, we have flies, teeth, mushrooms, and some fungi mounds. I enjoyed experimenting with the different elements to add to the food, but I think my favorites from the week are “Who Wants Pancakes?” and “Yummy, Yummy.” They both turned out so well for me.

Honorary mention is “Gimmy Gimmo” – clearly Gizmo is not food haha. He belongs to my parents and that illustration was done for my dad’s birthday.

What are your favorites? Let me know through Instagram or through the site. Be sure to check out last week’s post if you missed it. Have a good week, everyone!
