I Celery Heart You

I stand by my motto.

Food is art

Genius right? Thanks to Maureen for the absolutely brilliant idea to use a stalk of celery as a stamp.  I upped the cheese factor by using this freshly veggie-stamped notecard to write P a love letter for our anniversary. Gah!  Who am I?  Though it was worth it to see his face =)

Obviously I soon tired of celery and glanced around the room for something else to paint.  I spotted C-Dawg.  Poor little guy... you would have thought he'd been through enough by now. But no! I not only threw him in some salsa to munch on, but also plucked a few leaves to paint.


I don't think I'll ever stop playing with my food =)

Amanda @ .running with spoons. said...

I'd never stop playing with my food either if I played with it like this. Love it! My version of playing with my food involves swirling it around my plate, tossing peas at people, and making mountains and valleys out of mashed potatoes ;)

These are adorable! Yet another use for herbs!

Kristina @ spabettie said...

I LOVE my celery flowers! I have put their photos on my blog before... when I was making this afternoon's juice, I left the celery flower on the counter (to take a photo!) and Jason was helping clean the juicer parts, saw it and threw it in the garbage! :D  I can take a photo of another one tomorrow...

Gina @ Running to the Kitchen said...

That is super cute! You are way more creative than I will ever be! I think if I told my husband I made his card with celery he'd think I was nuts.

meri said...

Your celery art is to cute! If I can ever tear myself away from eating celery, I'll do this... I suppose I could just cut off the painted ends though!

Emily Birkinshaw said...

Kay said...

Wow, I'm amazed at what a cute stamp that makes!

KT @ KT's Refinishing School said...

What a great idea!  I could totally see using food as art stamps for cloth napkins and place cards for a dinner party in your new casa :)

Rachel said...

I've seen the celery art on Pinterest and am fascinated by it (previously I've only stamped with apple).
The cards look very cool. 
Keep us posted if you paint with more :)

~Jessica~ said...

I don't think your images are cheesy,  I think they're beautiful, free and creative!

I personally would love a celery card :D

Leanne @ Healthful Pursuit said...

So awesome! I just thought of the apple stamps this morning when I was writing my post. You know, when you cut them in 1/2 and it makes a star? So pretty when you add paint to it!

Valerie said...

Food is 100 percent art and girl....celery has never looked so good! You are fabulous.

Lisa @ Healthful Sense said...

Such a cute idea! My future children will definitely be playing with their food ... not at meal time of course :)

Sam said...

you are too cute.  i bet he loved it :)

LauraJayneBlog said...

I think we have to find/make art out of our everyday lives to fully enjoy it!  For me, it's about finding the beauty in things that helps me to make it through the day/week - or at least makes it more enjoyable!

Carissa Bealert said...

OMG! That is soooo sooo cool! That design would make a great foodie blogger tshirt!
