I made two different coloured doughs the more purple one using cabbage and the yellow one using turmeric. This was just what I had in my house but I really like how the colours turned out especially the yellow.

I used my hands to create the indents and ripples just by squeezing. Kind of like a nikita mould.

This is a sea-lion, crocodile butterfly It’s really cute. I first thought about photo graphing it outside and leaving it to decompose but I have gotten a little attached and want to keep it in my house for a little bit.
I also made the candelabra that you can see in the back ground.

This is my sea bed that I will place but little Chimera on for presentation. I think it’s also quite funny with all the baking paper makes it very foody. And everything I’ve made it technically edible apart from maybe the candle wax.
