Fairy Forest

The bread of the sandwich is shaped like a heart and tastes like an apple. I like my bread toasted for sandwiches so I tried to shade the bread darker to show that it was toasted. Since I think fairies would want to eat something sweet I put some jelly that comes from the grapes grown on the trees found in the fairy forest. On top of that is diamond fruit and mini chocolate bars. I couldn’t think of a specific fruit so I think the diamond fruit tastes like a combination of all fruit. I think a fairy chef made this sandwich for a princess fairy. The chef made it in the middle of the woods since all the ingredients could be found in the forest. They were throwing a party for the fairy princess and that's why there's a streamer on the side.

I feel okay about my artwork. I originally tried to make the sandwich 3D but I didn’t like how the bread looked and I didn’t know how to make the plate 3D so I made it 2D. I really like how the mushrooms turned out though. I think the spotted one looks really nice. Next time I think I would try again to make the sandwich 3D. I think it would have looked really nice and it would have shown off the ingredients better.
