A new fear...

I am the type of person to have lots of silly fears:
 
- crumpets
- green crisps
- shrimps

They are just a few. However, I unwittingly discovered another today whilst browsing images for my class lesson on fruit felt collage. I absentmindedly typed 'fruit art' into google images and what came up scared me. It made me feel slightly sick and I couldn't really look at it. Here are some of the images I was confronted with (I hate these being on my blog but I feel I need to share the crazy world of 'fruit art'). 

Argh!!!!!!!!!!




This frightens me...

Both of the above make me feel slightly nauseous and freak me out. However, the one which trumps them is:


Oh the horror!!

I mean... do we really need people made from fruit? Am I the only one who this terrifies?!

What about you? Any weird and unexplainable things which scare you?

Hi hi! Thank you for stopping by my blog, I'm now following yours :)

Okay, so before your post I had no idea what "fruit art" was but add it to the list of things I'm scared of! Somethings are not meant to be made into art, fruit is definitely one of them. Although, I don't mind "edible arrangements" - those are pretty.

One weird and unexplainable fear are honey combs. It's not just the fact that they are associated with bees, but the look of them make me shiver. Even thinking about them now makes me shiver! :)

Great post, looking forward to more!

HAHAHA! You can't be serious.

Deadly.

You really can't see what's freaky about the 'fruit art'? Just the way it all has holes and is carved to look like real things. The fruit man...well he doesn't even have a body, just a sheet and fruit head with a glass of wine. How would he even drink that?!

@Sejal- I can see why you don't particularly like honey combs however they don't bother me too much. Maybe in real life it may be different as there would also be bees!

@Sharad- Unfortunately I don't think anyone IS meant to eat them!

El Grande said...

Oh yes, of course I understand. Fruit is soooo scary. I will have nightmares tonight. Thank you for showing me these images. How ever will I live a normal life again??? You have damaged me for the entirety of my adult life.

Wait till you dream about fruit men with no arms and wine! It's not the fruit it's what it's made to look like :-(

El Grande said...

Looks, like you were wrong. I had zero dreams about "fruit men with no arms and wine" <-- Also that sounds like something a gay man would order at a Thai bordello.

Take All Chances - Missy said...

He didn't dream stalk me either... although I DID have a bad nights sleep. Personally I think the two are linked.You're right...that does sound like an order haha!! Imagine if an ACTUAL fruit man turned up?! Ok...I'm tired and elaborating to a ridiculous amount.

El Grande said...

If an actual fruit man showed up you'd be very scared and I'd be busy ignoring him and stuffing my face with something made out of meat.

Take All Chances - Missy said...

Hahaha! I'd be more than scared...I'd be gone before you know it, leaving you to feast on meat with fruit man.I don't know if he'd eat it though. He may just watch and chat since all normal people would run away from him.

El Grande said...

Yeah that's probably true, but maybe this fruit man just needs a friend.

Remember Frankenstein was the creator, not the monster, but as a creator was he not the bigger monster???

Think about it.

Take All Chances - Missy said...

That is very true...and very thoughtful! I now feel a bit sorry for Fruit Man. I think he needs a fruit friend too- someone who understands his struggles.

El Grande said...

A fruit WOMAN!!! And together they can have little fruit babies and together they will live happily even though the world despises their fruit related monstrosity.

Take All Chances - Missy said...

It's like an Oscar worthy film!!

"Fruit related monstrosity" hahahahahaha!!!

El Grande said...

I think I just got another idea for my next project!!!
