& π (Ampersand Pi)

March 15th, 2010, posted in art, baking time, crafts, photos, projects

I wanted to make a pie for pi day yesterday, but I had so much work to do, I didn’t think I could justify taking the time.  But then I realized: if I put an ampersand on the pie, it TOTALLY qualifies as work!  Because my Division III (thesis-esque) project is all about ampersands (the & symbol) and making ampersand related objects…

Behold, vegan four-berry (dare I say, JAMpersand?) pi:

Ampersand Pi

This would probably be the right opportunity to reveal the ampersand cookie cutter I made recently:

CMYK & cookies

The cookie cutter is only one of several Very Exciting Things I’ve been making in the Lemelson shop lately for my project; others include pillows, windchimes, a lamp, a sponge, & so forth, all in the form of the ampersand.  More photos to trickle out soon as I finish things up!

A Very Ampersand Birthday

My friends know me so well.

This was my breakfast today (courtesy of Tara):
ampersandcakes

And for dinner James made pizzas with the toppings shaped in ampersands. And there were ampersand cupcakes and cookies.

And this was dessert (courtesy of Victoria and Lydia):

If only I had made another ampersandwich today, I would have had a full day’s worth of ampersand meals – WHOA.

My life is so awesome and amazing and exhilarating and I love everything, especially my friends, and my family, and my Division III.
