The Amy Sedaris Craft Challenge
by Molly McCall
Wed, February 21, 2007, 3:00 am PST

We can't say when the first piece of fruit (or stick of butter or bowl of cereal) saw light with a pair of googly eyes, but the moment must have been magical. To celebrate the transformative properties of a pair of stickie plastic orbs for any number of dinner table provisions, WNYC and hostess extraordinaire Amy Sedaris put out a call for the most creative encounter of food and eyes. The results reveal a world of victuals that's giving us the once-over. A plate of sushi winks seductively, an ear of corn peeks from behind its husk, and a milky cup of coffee leers. We had no idea that the contents of our kitchen cabinets bridled with so much emotion. The jar of pickles seems so uncomfortably confined, the peanut with the Jay Leno chin so lovably grumpy. The challenge is now closed (sorry!), but it's not too late to browse the photographic evidence of how the crafty stickers make food "come alive."
