The gouging of the eyes only comes when rolling a ton of tiny seeds, I promise ;-).<br /><br />Cindy, no hair in these, but fingernails on fingers, yes ;-). You know, I never did see Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp. Time for a torrent search!<br /><br />Jocelyn, it WAS awhile before I could put another head in my mouth. Wait...that sounded strange. But seriously, it was brutal!<br /><br />Ok Betty: sewing, knitting, pottery, and food.

Sorry, TMI!!<br /><br />Hey Betty, DOH!! That is very typical of me. Sometimes something can be right in front of my face and I don't "see" it. I focus on one spot and everything else dissapears! My God, you are one busy girl!! You do EVERYTHING miniature :-O!!

I did try a shortcut once with the pomegranates: I used super tiny no-hole beeds:-/. Somehow, it just didn't look so hot.<br /><br />I am headed for another breakdown as we speak. I am making a bunch of pies and tarts with small body parts for a Sweeney Todd scene. Eyeballs, fingers, toes, noses...and freaking EARS!

Pumpkin seeds, any kind of small seed, I pop the whole thing in my mouth. I also eat shrimp in the shell, shell and all :-/. Everyone throws their shrimp tails on my plate and I eat it. We were at a Japanese restaurant once and I ate the heads (it was full of eggs, which I love!), and the roof of my mouth started bleeding, profusely. You know the super sharp antenaee? Well, it harpooned my mouth. I sat there with tears streaming down my face. But damn, those eggs were tasty!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303004133649269237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553560040088946152.post-48058305130108922912009-11-19T22:32:32.804-10:002009-11-19T22:32:32.804-10:00Thanks so much you guys!!

I've seen your gorgeous sewing work on Flickr, but never food- you will have to take pics :-D!<br /><br />Hey Rosanna, yes, I did the hand rolling thing :-/. I kind of do that to start, then once I position the seeds, I mold them a bit more with my needle tool. It's arduous, for sure, hence the eye gouging impulse, lol!<br /><br />Thank you so much, synnøve and Christel, my Swedish buddies :-D!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303004133649269237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553560040088946152.post-10851562587168904702009-11-19T22:29:51.124-10:002009-11-19T22:29:51.124-10:00Kiva, they are wonderful.

I fell in love with it when I ordered by mistake the most expensive fruit juice in the world and found out its pomegranate! Yours look like my S$3 ones sitting in my fridge right now. I eat them seed by seed so I guess you will have to roll each seed how people eat them..;pSans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553560040088946152.post-50471240169678512432009-11-19T22:22:34.296-10:002009-11-19T22:22:34.296-10:00results are worth it Kiva ;)
