Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette...
...set on a bed of graham cracker crumbs with a chocolate chip blondie grotto behind her. There is a puddle of melted chocolate mud and some parsley, for the muddy water Bernadette drank and the weeds that she ate.
The blondies were not such a good idea in hindsight -- the blondies were too cakey. We used metled chocolate mortar and eventually resorted to skewer supports and a couple of books leaning on the back. Faith and I are not structural engineers, that's for sure.
It's adorable! I like the mud and weeds especially-nice touch. I'm sad that we didn't do anything yesterday to celebrate---and that story is one that helped bring me into the church!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a beautiful statue! My confirmation name is Bernadette.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great, Barbara! I am always in awe of what you accomplish! And that statue is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this, especially the mud and weeds. deus,I made a rice crispy treat one that also needed some heavy supports, lol.
