Carrot leaves

Carrot leaves!
I tried carving these after seeing the instructions of Senbaga Babu in
http://www.arusuvai.com/tamil/node/29369.

 

Trixie got to try them after that. :-) 

Yum! Yum! Yum!!!

Flowers from grapes

All you need are... a few firm grapes, a V tool, some toothpicks, a few sprigs of parsley & a piece of an apple.
A vege knife can be used instead of the 'V' tool.
(This 'V' tool came with a vegetable cutter set that was gifted to me by Chris' Mum on my birthday.thirty years ago.)  

Lets's move on to the instructions now.

• Wash and wipe the grapes with a kitchen towel. 
• Remove the stalk. 
• Push the 'V 'tool in to make a petal. 
• Turn fruit around and make three or four more cuts.
• Carefully separate the two halves. 

• Insert a toothpick for the stem.

• Peel the apple for the stand.

• Prick holes using a toothpick where you want the leaves to go. 
• Insert sprigs of parsley. 

Done! Quick and easy! 

Capsicum Anthurium

Some crafts you see online make you want to try them straight away. The anthurium on http://www.arusuvai.com/tamil/node/29447  made me feel that way.

All you need is - a fresh red capsicum, a baby corn, something to use as a stem, a toothpick and a kitchen knife to cut and carve.

Senbaga had used the stem of spinach; I used s a garlic stem instead. I also scraped the edges so the petal looks real. It is so easy to make. Want to try!!
