I always check to see what 'Special Days are coming up in case I feel inspired to take photos for one. I knew I wanted to do Peanut Butter Day, but it wasn't until the last minute that I finally decided on who to feature. The Avery twins and baby dragons! Which meant I needed the 'kitchen' half of the dragon's lair. I still had a castle interior up on the dining room table, still waiting for me to photograph a scene that I'd been wanting to for weeks, so that meant clearing out half the set and piling everything to one side....again....
Then I set up the dragon's kitchen on the other half. I have a binder with print-outs of every room setting, so I know exactly what needs to go into any particular room. I just take the print-out down to the basement and gather all the furniture and props I will need. Then it takes just a few minutes to put everything together in the dining room, and I can add the dolls and dragons.
...and I can start taking photos....
Someone on FB thought I'd actually baked a tiny loaf of bread! LOL I may be a perfectionist, but that would be going too far, even for me. Someone else commented that the bread and peanut butter looked "so real". Well, that's because they were. I wanted white bread, but we don't eat the stuff. Then Jan remembered that there were still some hotdog buns lingering in the downstairs freezer, left over from a family BBQ last summer. So I took one out and started slicing it nice and thin while it was still frozen. Then I spread peanut butter on several to make thensandwiches. I had to be very careful so that the slices of bun didn't come apart in the middle.
Then I took two empty, small glass jars, and put peanut butter into them. Had to be very careful not to get any peanut butter on anyone, especially the dragons, since they aren't exactly washable.
Then for the photo of Sparkle, I used a tiny elastic and eye putty to help her hold the spoon and empty jar.
