Princess Of The Pistachios

Yes folks it's that time again - collage time! On this occasion I have used another magazine cutting, flowers from our garden and some pistachio shells.
The pistachio shells were actually as a result of a culinary cock up on my part. One of our favourite dishes is Lebanese lamb and green bean gratin which requires shelled pistachios - needless to say I bought the unshelled version by mistake and had to spend some time de-shelling a whole packet of pistachios. Not the most thrilling of activities!
For some reason I didn't throw the shells away and the idea for this image came into my head and I went with it
