SuperNaturale

By Linda Paulsen

I have never been to the Minnesota state fair, but I hear it’s awesome.

In the past I have heard of a beauty pageant that elects the Butter Queen, who then has her portrait carved in butter.

My buddy Ritch has just introduced me to another food based craft wonder from the homeland- Crop Art. These are his photos of seed pictures and sculptures.

I know very little about this. I only know the names of the creators of this work if their names were in the picture. Lillian Colton seems to be the hero of Crop Art and may be the reason the genre is so well executed. Here is some work of past years by many makers.

Not since Callie told me about quinoa have I been so excited about grains.
