On her blog, Culinary Canvas, Canadian artist Lauren Purnell proves that playing with your food (scraps and all) can be an art form by turning fruits, veggies, and commonly trashed skins and rinds into colorful tableaus: a bicycle with blood orange slices as tires, a watermelon sailboat riding a blueberry wave. Well plated.
