I’ve been holed up in my studio lately, sculpting like a madwoman for an upcoming project. I’ll post more details closer to the event date, which is in September, but the gist of it is that over the next month and a half, I will be sculpting three times the amount of food jewelry that…
The new summer foods book is coming right along, and I’m nearly finished with the sculpting and photographing stage. (Learn more about the book-creation process in this post.)

One of my favorite parts of the book-writing process is creating the cover, because once that’s completed the project seems much more tangible and real. Plus, it’s just fun to arrange all of the tiny foods for the photograph! Yesterday, I had a brief period of good photo-taking light in my studio, so I decided…
I’ve been working like a madwoman on the new book (if you missed yesterday’s post introducing the topic with loads of cute pictures, be sure to check it out), and this week, I’ve made a lot of progress. Good news for all of you who have been asking me ever-so nicely when the book is…
