Don’t you just love it when you suddenly stumble into some new way to think about something you see every day? Me too! Its way too easy to lose inspiration in the short days (and long nights) of winter, so when I ran across Julie Lees Food collages I took a few minutes to feast my eyes on her beautiful work.

If you’ve ever put a meal together you’ve probably had that moment where there are things spread out across your counter or cutting board, – textures, colors, patterns… that seem to transcend the “food” category. I know I have, but I never really thought to take it to the next level. If you are a foodie, and even if you’re not, take a minute and check out these collages by this talented LA food crafter. It’s an uplifting change in perspective, that doesn’t cost a thing. There is even a how to video in case you would like to set your culinary tendencies on their artistic edge. It’s a great way to enjoy food on a whole new level. Its calorie free and satisfying, so go ahead, indulge!
