I received a mysterious letter in the mail a few months back from "Uncle Thrasher's General Store"...
...but with lots of kooky artistic friends I figured it had to be something good!
It turned out to be a letter from a childhood friend who's now in art school
doing a miniature art swap around the theme of a general store.
After a summer in the woods of Vermont, the deadline was coming down to the wire, so in the last few days I whipped up these wee eggplants.
They are made of paperclay and painted with two coats of watercolors.
Delicious!
Can't wait to see what tid bits I get in return!
i just love eggplants!!! their shape and color and different ways to eat them up...even their names - melanza, aubergine, berengela - are full of romance. i hope yu get some great goodies back, gretta, but i do love your ggplants!! tqoe
ReplyDeletesorry, i meant melanzana.

ReplyDeleteLove your little eggplants! I've just discovered your lovely blog, and am now following! So nice to "meet" you! ♥

The purple is lovely.....but they are so tiny....at first glance, I thought they were made of fabric that you had painted....guess it was the light or the painted finish....anyhow, thanks for the photo!
ReplyDeleteLove your wee eggplant, so fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll show us the treats you get.
