More Art

Zhanna of St. Petersburg, Russia has a unique talent all of her own. She is a baker of cakes and the results are astounding, perfection at its best in the confection department and so clever as to knock your socks off. Ma had a treadle sewing machine just like the one shown here, hard to imagine it is an edible cake.

Every detail is perfect, lifelike and a work of art that makes you want to reach out and taste the hamburger and pick up the bottle and put some ketchup on it.

This one is striking and one can only imagine the work, the hours, the detail that went into this one. Every bit of it edible. I wonder how much one of her cakes costs. Worth every penny I bet.

This kitchen is perfect. I can't believe what I am looking at. Every detail to perfection. A masterpiece.

Don't you feel you can just pick up this bottle, open it and have a taste of its content? It must be Vodka and I bet it is very tasty. When I worked for the Federal Service many years ago in the Washington, D. C. area, I was the receptionist in the front office where people came in to buy the latest Government issues on all reports printed by the Government. There were two Russian librarians who came and were very friendly, often bringing me a small bottle of real true vodka that had a taste all its own. Once a rose, once a book on Moscow. One day two FBI men came in and played good cop, bad cop, asking me all kinds of questions as to why I was singled out by the Russians. . .the cold war was in its hey day....what do you talk about? I said I asked about their home, their children and their wives . . .hard to believe you could just be friendly especially when you didn't think of them as enemies. I had to laugh as the Russians had an escort to the report area and a charge account, no less, so they could buy any report they could find in the open files. I still have the book in my bookcase and often think of the words written in the fly leaf thanking me for being a very nice lady. I can live with that.

Now this computer is edible. Can't believe how well done it is. Imagine the work, the time, the talent that goes into each and every cake this lady bakes. There were dozens of more pictures but I chose the ones I thought that would be of interest, yet wish I had put them all on as each one is not only a work of art but perfection at its best. What a talent.



So today, your first Saturday morning after the fabulous dinners and deserts, to the dumb and obnoxious Black Friday, try and contain yourselves and make your Christmas gift list with love in mind. Know you do not have to go and spend your income for the next year paying for gifts; give from the heart, sometimes a visit or a hug beats anything wrapped in silver paper. Free the arms, lift up the face and smile, brighten the holiday for a friend, a neighbor and especially a family member. Go with God. Hugs to all.
