Experiencing Joy Through Art

Hello my friends! I am back to my blog again after a brief hiatus, and wanted to share something really fun with you that is perfect for this time of year! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, this is an art form that is a feast for both the eyes and mouth!

For Americans the Thanksgiving holiday is about family, friends, showing gratitude for all we have been blessed with, but it's also about the food! From our traditional favorites at the Thanksgiving table like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie comes the meal that puts us in a blissful food haze at the end of the day.

Since this holiday is all about the edibles, I thought it would be fun to share with you this miniature art in spoons that is made completely from food; mostly fruits and vegetables. These beautiful culinary creations are made by Romanian artist Ioana Vanc. She assembles each scene using a teaspoon as her "canvas". 

   There are a number of them shown here on this webpage. My personal favorite is the parrots! But I also love the Kermit the Frog piece as well. What a fun and inventive new way to use food as art!
