Finally completed (or just about completed) this pie sculpture. Not only did my father tell us of his love for pie every time he was in front of one, but I can remember growing up in the community that I did and pie was like a secret weapon currency of the women. You wanted something done? - you made a pie. Materials: the outside is made of felt, what I consider to be the most humble of fabrics. The inside however, contains rich, raspberry pink chiffon and crystals to act as the filling and berries (which practically represent real value in my community - while fresh berries were abundant, it was almost competition to find the freshest and tastiest). The plate underneath is made of royal blue velvet a if presenting the pie on a ceremonial pillow. I may be adding some more smaller "berries" but I'm very excited to have this ready to post!
