I finished the baguette! I'm not sure the French would like to claim it as one of their own but I am quite impressed with it considering I have little sculpting and painting skills! I've always looked at those short pottery video clips where they create a trinket bowl or something with a bit of flattened airdrying clay and and after a few smooshes here and a smoosh there there's a work of art in front of them and I thought "I can do that!" Well this baguette has certainly cured me of that idea!
The theme for the party is sunflower picnic because my son proposed to Erin at a mystery picnic and her favourite flowers are sunflowers. A mystery picnic is a great thing to do if you ever have the chance. You're given clues in order to pick up your food and after you've filled your basket you're directed to your picnic site. And you don't always have to get married afterwards ;-)
The baguette was a very important part of the picnic display because once Erin realised what was happening she kept saying "I'm holding this ***** breadstick!" So I had to include one and I couldn't have a real one or it'll be covered in ants and other bugs within minutes of setting it out. Although, that would have been far easier! Ha ha!
So this is how I see the picnic display looking.
There's another thing crossed off my to do party list. What's next...
Curtains maybe?
