Piggynaut

So yes, this is a pig astronaut. This is an original design by the wife. It's pretty good for a first design - notice the little details like the snout and the eyes. Looks a little thin for a piggy though, maybe one day she will do a chubbier version of this space-faring porcine.

How to

• You need to start with a base of bread. I suggest you draw the shapes on a piece of paper and cut them out, then use them to cut your bread.
• You then need to cut the ham and put it on the face. Then you can cut the cheese slices and put them on, including the astronaut helmet.
• I must admit I'm not sure how she did the pig snout. I think she first cut out an oval cheese then used small straws to poke out the snout holes.
• Note the tiny seaweed eyes!
• The belt and the other black bits are hand cut from seaweed.
• You can hand cut the star and moon if you're patient, otherwise you can easily find cookie cutter molds that will do that for you.
