ROYAL WEDDING = Portraits of Prince William and Kate Middleton

Pizza chain Papa John's has created an image of Prince William and Kate Middleton on a pizza. 
The chain worked with a food artist to create the pizza, the veil made from
mushrooms; dress from cheese; and William's suit out of salami and peppers.
.
Artist George Vlosich spent 125 hours creating this portrait on an Etch a Sketch.
.
A Staffordshire artist, Pete Mason has used thousands of postage stamps for his creation.
More than 3,000 recycled stamps were used to depict the couple. 
.
Using 11,000 jelly beans. Malcolm West from Surrey, spent up to ten hours a day 
over a period of more than five weeks painstakingly sticking each bean on to his creation.
..
Last but not least...
by yours truly! Using good ol' charcoal+crayon!
.

    You did that with crayons??! I didn't know you were an artist! Way cool! I was an art minor for a whole semester!
    And I so hope our local pizza hut is doing that royal pizza this weekend! I never get mushrooms on my pizzas anymore and that looks awesome...

    You drew that with crayons? You have got to be kidding! That is amazing!
    And that pizza is really really freaky.

    Love your effort Lenore.
    You're full of surprises.
    Really don't like the pizza, but I think the etch a sketch is brilliant.

    Oh my goodness, Lenore Nevermore! I didn't know that you have such artistic ability! That is wonderful! The only talent I have is for eating pizza and jelly beans and at the moment I feel very much like exercising that talent. Have a splendid day and evening, dear friend Lenore!

    OK, the pizza one kinda scares me and I am amazed at your drawing! Great job!
    BTW, how did your "talk" with the contractors go?
    Were they quivering in their boots?!?!

    Your picture is amazing, though I must admit that a pizza with people's faces on it creeps me out a little. I'm guessing you'll wake up early and watch the wedding - I think maybe I'll just tivo it! :)

    So that's what you've been up to since you got back... Love your arty envelope - I'm in awe of every one of these curiously inventive artworks. And not surprised by the 125 hours - Etch a Sketches are damned fiddly things.. Enjoy the wedding Lenore - and the weekend. Susan xx

    I like yours best... it's the most flattering portrait of the royal couple. My boyfriend's mom thinks that my boyfriend looks like the prince. Sometimes I agree, but my bf has a lot more hair, and a more impish smile. :) I wouldn't trade him for a prince, ever.
