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

with one comment

Don’t judge me by the amount of gross food I happen to have at my disposal…

old cucumber

Old cucumbers get soft and squishy and weird.

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

Moldy Bread

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

salami again
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

leave a comment »

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.

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

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

grease
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.
