I have a calander with the same types of sculptures. I was wondering if these were taken from a previous year’s calander… either way, I love it. The sculptures always make me smile!
How creative! I loved the big screaming orange/tangerine/satsuma amongst the smaller ones. It’s funny how the creases were related to facial expression!
Hey - the authors/illustrators of the books referred to above are Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann - there are tons of books, including Fast Food, How Are You Peeling?, and Dog Food. Amazon has a bunch of them. They’re kinda friggin amazing.
You have some really cool things here and the rest of your blog! I blogged about you too, at Maria Finds.
Hey peeps, if you have interesting blogs you want me to write about, just let me know, I am starting a “Blogs I Like” category to bring exposure to “less” established but very interesting blogs nonetheless.
I was a vegetarian, but now I’ll never be able to eat vegetables again. (Can’t eat anything with a face, don’t you know.) Being doomed to starve to death this may be my last post…ever. Farewell cruel world.
can i use some of your images in my I.C.T gcse course work, i am constructing a fruit and veg. fact file to inform 9 year olds of the importance of a balanced diet.
PLEASE SEND ME YOUR FAVORITE VEGETABLESCARVING PHOTOES OF ALL VEGETABLES ON MY MAIL.

i need to know if i can have permission to use these images within the next 2 weeks or else i will go to another site, i hate to rush the response but i have a deadline to meet and i urgently need the answer, although these are my favourite images so far i will have to revert soon,
thankyou
These look awfully familiar. I know people have mentioned the “Play With Your Food” books, but the frog image above has holes in it, like it is from a calendar. Don’t claim ownership of images you haven’t produced.
I think these are great for parties. I was wondering was is used to stick them together? I would like ot know as well what the sheep legs were made of.
I was searching for some simple veg carving photos as the same is required by me for doint vegetable carving. i found this site while searching. They r really good. Looking out for some more simple pictures like these for vegetable carving. It would be of great help to me if u send me some more pictures like that to my email id.
This is just the most amazing way of working with veggies (instead of eating!)
We have been looking for something like this for a class project and have tried some of these veggies out. Not even half as good looking as the originals, but still a bunch of fun!
dude….this stuff is amazing! and hilarious. [btw, your ‘penguins’? picture is doubled.]

Checked and removed… :-), now we know that even a veggi can be the canvas to the next big piece of art
