Maybe it’s the BBQ warming up next to me, but I’ve got weird sculpture (food-based and otherwise) on the brain:
- Jennifer Maestre makes amazing pencil sculptures. [Via Reen Bodo]
- Crazy for Corks provides examples (crazy and otherwise) of how to reuse wine corks. [Via]
- You may have been a good smuggler once, but now you’re dark chocolate… Find out how to make a Han-Solo-in-carbonite chocolate bar. (There’s also a queso version, si quieres.) [Via]
- If that’s up your alley, check out this life sized cake-Skoda (and accompanying TV spot).
- Cara Barer photographs books turned into sculpture.
- Devorah Sperber plays visual tricks using spools of thread. [Via Clare McLean]
For those interested in chocolate sculpting, check out Prudence Emma Staite on http://www.foodisart.co.uk/ – she does some amazing work; including whole life-sized rooms!
[Wow–thanks for the tip! –J.]
Hi. I love Cara Barer, too, so I’ve asked her twice to show in my gallery. Last year she wowed visitors, and her new show opens today in Burlington Vt. You can check our website,

thanks so much.

I was sceptical but that really is a cool looking chocolate bar. Although a little too much work for a simple snack.
