Weekly Theme: Sharpie Expressions

That is a chocolate covered almond in a pan. I didn’t want to cook/use egg and for some reason I saw these chocolates laying around and thought the contrast on the frying pan would work as well as an egg. This might look easy, but I tell you, it was hard. Since I don’t have professional photography gear, I had to do this the hard way.

That one worried almond is standing, and in order to get it standing I had to put a toothpick in the back so it could be propped up. I liked the lighting in my kitchen, problem was the pan on the ground was too far for the light, so I had to hold the pan 10 inches from the ceiling. So that is me holding the pan, holding the toothpick’ed almond and taking a photo.

Way too hard.

    Wow great job on getting him standing up! I never would have guessed you did that with a toothpick.

    I think you could have gotten away without him saying “Crap” and instead drawn his eyebrows in a shocked expression.

    This photo was taken after the “shock” phase. Now it’s just the reality setting in.

    Nice to see some of the process. Really like reading about the set up as well.

    Love the “behind the scenes” shot, and of course the finished design
