I just made my boyfriend his favorite little alien for his birthday. The Reddit alien is reddit.com’s mascot and fits in quite well with my interests because he’s cute too!

The asparagus has one of my favourite end results, but it is definitely one of the more challenging vegetables to construct. This is because of all the tiny green leaves at the top, which I attach on individually.

This is the first time that I have attempted to make any sort of gourd, and I am quite pleased with the result. I was worried that I did not have the colour that I wanted – a deep orangey-yellow. I solved this by combining a bright yellow that I had with a red.
