Hahaha

An Old Peach
Haven’t patterned this peach yet, obviously, but I thought the scans were nice.


In other news, I may have semi-ruined my scanner with that old cucumber. Hmm.
Old Cucumber
Don’t judge me by the amount of gross food I happen to have at my disposal…

Old cucumbers get soft and squishy and weird.

The Cucumber tile is quite pretty though, if I do say so myself.

wallpapered cucumber!
Moldy Bread
Oh god, I know this is so wrong and gross… but moldy bread looks amazing at 1200 dpi.

Ew!

Nasty!

Gross!

Ooo… Moldy bread tile

Okay, it’s still kind of gross.

Another tile

(woops, ignore the Photoshop crosshairs)
Moldy bread is so vile.
a moldy plum and more salami

Plum tile

Plum detail

Salami against a white background! It looks so much better this way… I’m actually not sure that it’s an improvement. It’s just different.

Ugh it’s so disgusting

Salami looks so lovely when it’s a tile though, doesn’t it? When printed the tile is about 25 inches wide. This would make nice wallpaper…

Delicious!
Salami and other cold cuts
I’ve gotten back into scanning. I’m giving food a go, at the moment. These are some cold cuts, which are unfortunately a bit older than they ought to be. I was inspired to scan them as I was thinking about throwing them away. I’ll try fruit next, which won’t stink as much…ugh.

A Salami Tile

The tile at 100%

Scanned salami makes me want to stop eating meat. Gross.

Pepper Turkey isn’t quite as intriguing as salami, but it’s just as tasty.

Stacked pepperoni tile

Pepperoni at 100%. The tile above is 10 inches wide when printed…imagine the wallpaper possibilities!!

Meat grease and handprints
Part of the problem with this stuff is that food looks really awful against a black background, especially translucent food. I don’t mind getting grease all over the glass on my scanner, but I don’t really want the grease on the nice white background bit… I need to figure out an alternative.
Chef Boyardee

Chef Boyardee tiles! Imagine the advertising possibilities…
