Food Fodder

 

As many of you know, Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month and our themes are Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both.   Since Bleubeard has been creating many journal pages using collage fodder, it's my turn to try my hand at Food Fodder.

I hope it's obvious, food is the focus of this journal page today.

 

I believe the image in the top left is a tool used to mash apples for applesauce.  I found the image in the kitchen tools and recipes book I am working from this month.

I found the words "Drain ME" that went nicely with the Spaghetti Strainer or Colander.

I rotated the image so you didn't get a crooked neck looking at the mold that reminded me of the Lincoln Memorial, a lovely building found in Washington, D.C. in the states.  The Lincoln Memorial is shown on a Priority Mail postage stamp.

  The stamp was issued in July, 2002.

 

In addition to various food labels I found in my stash, I have some previously borrowed Lynne Perrella stamps I resized to fit on the page.   

The visitor comment came from a museum I visited.  I combined it with a bingo card and two postage stamps.  The Burger King receipt was also in my stash.

I found these sunflowers, also in my stash, and knew I had to use them, since they are not only my state flower, but also I'm showing respect for Ukraine.

I rotated this image, too.  Charlie is the star of Star Kist.  I love albacore tuna over what most people buy.  It's an indulgence I think is worth it.

Another Lynne Perrella image I stamped, reduced to fit the size of the label, and fussy cut.  Yes, that is an avocado sticker on the lower left.

I now give you one final look at my interpretation of Food Fodder.  I'm not sure if Bleubeard is impressed or not.

I used various labels, postage stamps, stamped images, and items from my stash to make this entry.

Bleubeard and I are overjoyed you visited today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own version of Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both.
