Searching for this topic was fascinating. I also have to admit that the feature I did for Petit Plat in the Craft Section, inspired me to search for more clay candies. So here you go … Food and dessert miniatures made with clay, ideal for dollhouses and collecting, especially for those who are passionate with food, crafts or both!

The detail on these mini sculptures is amazing and the result mouthwatering! and inspiring. These creations may be tiny but one should not forget the amount of effort and talent of their crafters.

Enjoy!

Art Athina 2010 05/23/2010
 
Art Athina, the International Contemporary Art Fair of Athens was the place to be between the 13th and 16th of May. Showcasing works of more than 300 artists represented by 58 galleries from 11 countries, the fair also presented 38 institutions associated to art, such as museums, foundations, art publishers and media.

I was very lucky to participate in the artAZ (online database of greek artists) selection of artists and have my own page in the artAZ fantastic art book! Below you can view a selection of my favorite pieces during my art walk.

I really enjoyed this year’s 7ply Project, a festival focusing on the promotion of the art and culture that surround the lifestyle of skateboarding.

Young people all over the place, cool skate tricks and music gigs and a refreshing variety of art on skateboards.


Here are some of the photos I took during my Saturday afternoon visit.

Enjoy!

Dear EyeCandy lovers, I hope you have left some room for dessert as this collection of mouth watering photographs is certain to increase your appetite! As a renowned sweet tooth (hence the blog name) I must admit that searching and discovering these visual candies was highly pleasurable!

Sinful chocolate, rich cream, soft & sugary dessert textures artfully laid out on decorated table settings are captured by highly talented photographers that are specialized in food photography and styling, aiming to taunt our palate.

Spring is all about rebirth and renewal. Nature reveals its inspiring colors and the green world slowly returns after winter slumber. Let’s not forget also that summer is just a breath away!

Here is a selection of 50 spring inspired earrings I discovered mainly in Etsy. The frustrating fact is that unfortunately I can’t wear any earrings as I’m allergic to metal … So it’s like drooling over candies while on a diet!

Each pic is linked accordingly to its respective online store. So if you see something you can’t resist, you’re only a click away!

Enjoy!
