I know I could have thought of a more imaginative title but it certainly beats the obvious---"Soup is Good Food." This mini-project can be credited to Candra as well. I know the pics are transposed but the "cans" are actually desiccants from vitamin bottles. I also decided to use the pouches and turn them into pasta containers. I painted them with white acrylic and painted the top and bottom with silver paint to simulate a metal can.
Since my fine motor skills are not what they used to be, I could only duplicate a Campbell's soup can in graphic/color only. Obviously the top half is painted red. The can has the famous gold medallion as well as the gold graphics along the bottom. Maybe I can ask one of my tattoo artist friends to paint "Campbell's" on the cans.
I had a larger "can" and decided to duplicate the stewed tomatoes can from Trader Joe's. Step one was to paint it with cerulean blue to match the TJ's can. The top and bottom were also painted silver.
First, I painted the red tomatoes. After the red tomatoes, I painted the green leaves. I tried a couple of times to paint "Unsalted" on the dollhouse can and managed to scratch out a decent one using a micro tip Sharpie pen.
This mini-project isn't final. I'm still looking for more potential cans of food.
