Bananas
Miniaturists can take a page out of the beader's book and use the Natasha trick to make mini food. This example uses the under ripe banana colors. Change the color and you can do French fries, with the brown crispy edges.

review |
http://www.holidays.net/chanukah/ Check out the spinning dradel on this page. There's some background information about The Festival of Lights. We didn't review it in Demo Friday night, but if we did we could do letter cane in Hebrew or Arabic, Japanese or Sanskrit. Technique is technique; the rest is creative license.
