Raspberry & Cashew Ice-cream
This is not a flavour I'm familiar with but it's ICE-CREAM so who cares! Kristin of Twinkle Twinkle has set this challenge and informs me that it's called 'Baseball Nut' ice-cream in the USA. Perhaps that's why I've not heard of it before.
I took it fairly literally in my first piece, an ATC using the fruit and the colour of cashews.

| Raspberries |
My next ATC simply used the palette, and I collaged and painted.

| The Bird Feeder |
My jewellery however has stretched the brief somewhat, using some red and some brownish.
I have used handmade glass beads I bought from a glass artist in South Australia, Karen Porter. She is unfortunately away at present, but try the link later.
This week went so fast I feel that I am only barely ready for next week's challenge. But I will certainly give it my best shot.
Great ATC's, and btw, I'm from the USA and have never heard of Baseball Nut! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

Wonderful ATC's, and your necklace is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSee you next week!
I like how you turned something so American into something of your own with an oh so different twist.
ReplyDeleteYou made some beautiful ATCs and jewelry for this week. I live in the US and I have never heard of that flavor either. I think that the ice cream pictures are great inspiration though.
ReplyDeleteI love your ATCs, your style, and the fact that you painted the actual fruit also! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea, being inspired by ice-cream? Beautiful beads and I loved your planking photos too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow reeally lovely :-)
