Rick and I went to the Freylinghuysen Park to view the various gingergread exhibit. There were 250 pieces on display which were works of art by grades 3-5, grade 2K, girls scout brownies, and families of the pupils.
The exhibits used of course a variety of yummy goodies: wafers, graham crackers, mm's, chocolates, candy mints, jelly beans, ice cream cones, popcorns, reeses chocolates, hersheys, etc ...and all kinds of soft and hard candies one can ever find Also used were cardboards covered with hardened sugars, cinnamon sticks, and just about anything to add color and to express the chosen theme of their work. Some had the actual photos of where their exhibits were copied from...but a majority were simply borne out of the exhibitor's imagination. All were wonderful pieces of work of labor and love!
Viewers can vote on their choices although the judges have voted on their choices.
I particularly liked:
No. 61 - March of the Penguins (made from edible candy)
No. 53 - Cones and logs....this could have been so tedious to make because the fir cones were made of
chocolate pieces and logs of hardened chocolate
No. 65 - I said this is Mona Lisa---but Rick, the joker that he is said no---it is Whoopi
Goldberg!
No. 71 - The Simpsons--watching t.v.
And No. 17 - the Titanic.
If Anne were here...I am sure she could joined and participated because she is very creative. Or she and Jade could have collaborated to join.
Migs would surely vote for No. 61 March of the Penguins!
ReplyDeleteI am sure---and next time we have another exhibit like this..and you are here...we will all go together.
