Play with your food for a good cause.
I stumbled across this very awesome idea and website earlier this morning and after making myself a piece of toast, I did some digging. This is taken from the website itself and I think it explains quite a bit:
———————————————
The Bread Art Project was created by the Grain Foods Foundation to help increase awareness of the growing hunger problem in the U.S. In an effort to help end hunger in the US, the Grain Foods Foundation will donate $50,000 to Feeding America. An additional donation of $1 will be made for each piece of Bread Art submitted, up to the maximum donation of $100,000. You can make a personal donation to Feeding America.
———————————————
So basically you go to this website and can browse “toast art” done by featured artists like Jim Amadea, Iris Stein and Will Burns. You can create your own art on toast in the workshop, as well. I made one for my fictional lover, Edward as well as a shameless plug for my blog:
And not only can you upload a picture of your own, you can make a personal greeting, an image for someone else and send it to them to make their day. And $1 for each submission is being donated, so you can feel good about creating something fun. So wander on over to TheBreadArtProject and take a long look and believe me, you’ll be messing around with it for awhile, looking at the templates, using the awesome brushes, etc. Submit yours in the comments, I’d love to see what others come up with.
