Pies are a delicious treat that usually cheers a person up and makes a bad day a bit better or a good day even greater. But, as Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin shows us, they can be much more. \n\n\n\n

Those of you who know me well, know that Jim Henson and Brian Froud were two of my biggest artistic inspirations growing up… which is why I was so thrilled that YOU GUYS overwhelmingly voted for me to make \u201cThe Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance\u201d the subject of my next pie! \ud83d\udd2e\u2694\ufe0f\ud83e\uddda\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Seriously, it wasn\u2019t even close. I got hundreds of great suggestions but the one that came up over and over again was \u201csomething from Dark Crystal!\u201d Not only am I pleased as punch to get to create this humble homage to one of my favorite shows (on Netflix now – go watch it!) I\u2019m so happy to know that so many of you love it too! The use of real puppets and sets is just so special. To know that these worlds actually exist and can (in theory) be visited in real life makes me happy. Visiting those sets one day is my dream… \ud83e\udd70 \u2800\u2800 I started making the Gelfling character \u201cDeet\u201d out of modeling chocolate (with a malt ball eye) but I didn\u2019t have any green chocolate paint to tint her skin, and also decided she needed a more defiant expression so I switched her to \u201cBrea.\u201d So we\u2019ve got Brea\u2019s coloring and expression on Deets features \ud83d\ude02 Bit of artistic license! I\u2019m happy with how the Skeksis Chamberlain turned out though – he\u2019s just pie crust painted with gel color mixed with vanilla extract. \u2800\u2800 Have you seen the show yet? If a \u201cJim Henson World\u201d theme park existed, what fictional locations would you just love to visit – The Pigs in Space set? Labyrinth? Fraggle Rock? Sesame Street? Farscape? The Muppet Babies Nursery? Let me know in the comments below, and thanks for all your great pie suggestions! \u2800\u2800. #jimhenson #darkcrystal #brianfroud #lisahenson #wendyfroud #pieart @darkcrystalofficial @hensoncompany #ageofresistance #jimhensoncompany @netflix #thra #thedarkcrystalageofresistance #skeksis #gelfling #pie
