Exposing garlic – orchid

Happy weekend everyone! Business as usual next Month, er, I mean Monday. And from then on lots of birthdays to celebrate till the end of the month.

Exposing garlic – punch me again

Since I started working on my Exposing Garlic project, I’ve accumulated a little pile of garlic paper (aka outer peel). One day I wanted very much to know what would happen if it came under a paper puncher. Being curious also if it can withstand like a nori sheet would. And as you’ve already seen from my previous post, it turns out not too bad at all!

So what can you do with the punch-outs? You can glue them onto all sorts of paper crafts. Or maybe as confectti? Just a thought. No one will know that they came from garlic :-)

I’ll have more punching scenes to show in time to come. Watch out this space!!

Exposing garlic – punch me pretty

Exposing garlic – stand tall stand proud

Aren’t you surprised that these stalks are part of garlic? I certainly was when I held one up in my hand for the first time! All too often we rip the cloves off too quickly and don’t pay attention to the structure that makeup the bulb. The stalk is known as a neck and the ones pictured here are the soft necks of Snow White garlic, a variety readily available in our local supermarkets.

So stand tall stand proud and take pride in all that you do! Even if it’s taking pictures of garlic! Join me next week for blooming ideas on everything roses!

p.s. You can keep track of all my garlic pictures right here.
