This is painted on a 10" by 14" canvas over a 16" by 20" canvas glued together. I used acrylic paints. The ice cream and cherry on top is plaster. The fudge frosting is a glass paint. The dishes are melted glass dishes. Black ribbon is glued around the sides of the canvas to cover the staples. I try to get the hidden stapled canvas whenever I get the chance. Sometimes the hidden stapled canvases in certain sizes are not available. The spoons are real coffee spoons. The cherries on the side of the bottom canvas are glass with elastomeric custom patch as the stems. A plastic bag is used to squeeze the patch in the stem form after I mixed some acrylic green paint with it.
