Create your own delicious looking salad out of junk mail!
As a person with an unusual diet, I am ALWAYS thinking about food! AND everyday we receive marketing materials that are mailed to us – an endless supply of different colors and textures of papers.
Envision your favorite items at the salad bar. What beautiful produce is coming in from the garden this month? Scour sale ads and random envelopes for colors that match and those that appeal to you. Curl, tear and cut creating a variety of textures and “flavors” for your salad. Use a pencil to curl strips of paper around, use a paint brush and water to “paint” a tear line onto paper to make it rip easily and where you want. Use scissors and paper edgers to create distinctive shapes for your salad. Accordion fold and then cut paper to simulate shredded veggies. Anything goes! Plate your creation on Grandmas’ China or on a paper plate!
