Let's go Kite-Flying!

Have finally submitted my Petit Picnic entry for #semi-sweeties over on dA! 

I'm kind of disappointed with myself, cos I did want to make many many other things, but what with requests, blood tests, scans etc, there simply was not enough time to make the elaborate entry I had in mind. I know, I'm my own harshest critic, I have to defend myself against my very honest family opinions! XD serves me right for leaving it up to the last minute XD Luckily, I bought the faux grass and made the basket really really early and all I had to do was assemble the various pieces with my simple foods.

click on the above image for a larger version. you can also go to my flickr to take a look at the individual pics i'm sorta scattered today, pics are everywhere, rushing out to get grandma's birthday cake, she has just turned 83 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AHMA!!! :O :O :O! HUAT ARR!!! XD

Behind the scenes look at my entry.....cos I forgot to take a pic with item for scale....so this is my grubby handphone and the scene on top of my multi-purpose crafting trolley.

Due to the rules of the contest, I had to make new fruits, and upon bf's suggestion that we have a 'healthy' picnic, I made another bunch of grapes and ONE apple. ONE. it looks so odd, different from my earlier batch? Or maybe it's just me being picky....but I deliberately made it look different! 

Can you spot the difference? On the left are the older batch, the one on the right is the one I did for the contest. I think I prefer the left, more translucent/reddish variety, cos that's the type we get here mostly.....

Made the kite following some random google pictures, a rushed job this morning as the contest entry is due in ....less than 24 hrs :X I used some random paper I had in my folder where I keep a stash of papers suitable for mini use. I chose this for its 'modern' minimalist look.

 I originally wanted to make a croissan'wich, cos it's my fave form of sandwich, and I hadn't eaten it in ages (croissants are horrifically sinful, oh the butter~~~! but soooo tasty!)

but...my brother pooh-pooh'ed it, saying it looked weird :( I didn't think so until he mentioned it T-T yea, it does look somewhat...rigid I guess. So I junked that idea and went with the original bf-gets-9-inch-sub, me-the-6-inch-sub idea. I'm on a diet, so no cheese for me T-T

 EWW SO UNHYGIENIC!! GET THE BREADS OFF THE GRASS!!

much better :D I also played around with new ways of making some breads, they kinda sorta worked the way I wanted :) so happy! time to stock my 'pantry' :)

Hope you all have a great weekend! Maybe even go for a picnic, eh? :)
