Sculpting Veggies from The Mustard Family

These 18" doll sized cauliflowers are made by masking balls of foil,
then glueing on Sculpey leaves and stems and baking altogether in a
275 degree oven. Afterwards tiny balls of white foam are glued
around the center spheres wrapped with tape. I used white
school glue for this.

The Mustard or Cabbage Family Veggies - Brassicaceae or Cruciferae is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, while some are shrubs. They have simple (although sometimes deeply incised) alternatingly-set leaves, without stipules, or in leaf rosettes. Their inflorescences are terminal and bractless. Their flowers have four free sepals, four free alternating petals, two shorter free stamens and four longer free stamens. Their fruit has seeds in rows, divided by a thin wall (or septum). Read more...
