Extraordinary Biscuit Designs

Design historian, author, and artist Ella Hawkins will biscuify almost anything! Previously I posted her sweet tasting Tiffany glass biscuits and a very special patchwork quilt. She's also created biscuits inspired by ancient Greek pottery sherds in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum in England:


Below are illuminated manuscript biscuits inspired by various museum collections:

  1. But what do you do with them?
    It's a temporary medium but you surely can't just eat them, they're are a work of art.
    Put them in someone's coffin for the afterlife?
    Feed them to pets or squirrels?

  2. I first read about her quilt cookies:
    "The patchwork quilt that had been made for her by her mum. Each patch was cut from a dress my friend had worn as a child. Each biscuit recreated a patch on the quilt."
    I mean,how could you eat that?
