Blind Contour First Friday MAY!
BREAKFAST....
Good morning! No, we don't eat raw eggs and un-cooked quick grits for breakfast, we just thought that they were much more interesting to look at in an "un-cooked" state.
BTW: I used to not like grits when I was a kid. I tried putting all kinds of crap in them, but I still couldn't find something that worked. UNTIL ... I tried just butter and a bit O' sugar. Let me tell y a folks, that is one delicious combination!
GO try it...quick and easy after all
-Niff
Somewhere in that mess of lines there are 11 eggs and half a thing of grits. Niff is the grits eater. I merely tolerate them. Egg cartons are hard to draw because they are so amorphous. There are no hard corners to draw - just mushy, recycled paper curves and blots. Incidently, I think breakfast is my favorite meal even though I don't get to eat a very good one very often.
–Sutter
The other BCFF participants are up on the left under the side bar title BCFF MAY! For those of you not in the know, we have decided to make Blind Contour Friday a once-monthly affair. It will now be Blind Contour First Friday and happen only once a month. So, if you wish to participate, email us and we will put you on the reminder list for June.
What a great concept for "breakfast" and you both have created great shapes and color.
I have never had grits before, now you have me curious and I will have to try them. What are grits made of?

Grits and eggs, food of the gods. And you have certainly done them right. Your orderly displays are things of beauty.

Can I say Blind Contour Cookerybook? How excellent would THAT be - and of course we'd all feel super-gourmet at producing dishes that looked better than the pictures in the book!
Love this - excellent egg interpretation - they look like they are on a bus trip to the seaside.
Also, apologies for not responding to notifies and so on - I'm having *issues* with email. Prolly because I am a computer doofus.

HA HA, CIN: I didn't notice until now that one of sutter's eggs really is fussing!!! It looks like he is screaming really!

Looking good, The Niff and The Sutter. I was always scared to try grits until I found out that it's just corn dust.

Yeuch - corn dust! When I saw Quaker I assumed it was an American word for porridge! Oh well!
Now I'd never have thought you could make an egg look like an egg with a blind contour drawing, but you've both succeeded

Both of these drawings are awesome. I especially like the overall color scheme on Niff's drawing, and how both drawings have a contour of the cast shadow from the egg carton.

Firstly - damn impressive. Secondly have you ever tried melted cheddar over grits - Whoa! Major Yum.

Hi! I couldn't access your site for the past 2 days so i was unable to leave word that my BCD was up. Anyway, it is and I hope you could drop by :-) I love eating eggs for breakfast, but I haven't tried eating grits. I love how you guys decided to draw the eggs still inside the tray. Very unique!
