Sunday Browsing: Glass Food edition

This week's Sunday Browsing brings lampwork treats...literally. It's food-themed glass, with a little bit of a quirky twist to some of the beads, so enjoy drooling, whether it's over the lampwork or the yumminess :D

You how fans of lampwork drool over glass? Well, I can't look at these lampwork chocolates by EnterTheFlame without doubly drooling; I feel like I can taste rich, creamy truffles just by staring at the details in this picture; my favourite part has to be the fine frit that serves as cocoa dusting on some of the chocolates.

From girlfriday1962, a cute take on the old cliche of pickles and ice cream for the pregnant - personally, I love how the both the sundae and the pickle are looking suspiciously and little worriedly at each other, as if they'd never expected to be in each other's company. The added bonus is that if used for earrings, this wary look would be re-focused onto the wearer, to reconfirm their dubious cravings *G*

Juiciness and freshness seems to drip from these lovely watermelon beads by glasstastictreasures, which manage to merge a little kookiness with a lot of class - unusual, but not too 'out there'!

Here's a whole bakery in a bead set from cemlampwork1, including pie, cake, donuts, and a superb chocolate covered strawberry, all perfect as charms for pastry maniacs (on second thoughts, you might be wise to keep these away from maniacs of any kind...they'll put anything in their mouths).

From the perfect crimped pastry edges, to the melty dollops of cream (non-dairy, I assume *G*), beadbrains has a talent for tiny slices of pies The detail in this lemon pie is fantastic, for example; the streakiness of the yellow glass filling mimics real lemon curd brilliantly.

Frogs and lizards perched on lampwork beads is quite the trend, but aardvarkartglass has taken it about eighteen steps further, putting these glass creatures on all sorts of junk food from lizards on Ramen Noodles, to this frog on a Twinkie (being from the UK, I'm not 100% sure what a Twinkie is, but American TV has taught me they're food-esque cake things that will outlive everything except cockroaches in event of an apocalypse)

lampworkgarden has masses of cute sculptural beads, but my favourites are these hot foamy drinks, drizzled with caramel stringer, and rising from pretty little green and blue cups. Delicious.
