Welcome back for another tasty selection from my Mexakitchen, to yours. My next dish is a real conversation starter. This one begs the age-old question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?? We may never know the answer BUT I do know that they’re delicious ingredients in this double-tiered savory salad. Green olives, hard boiled eggs and baked chicken wing flats are the main players suspended in a wobbly chicken marrow gelatin. This show stopper is a visual and edible spectacle! Bon Appetit! ๐ซ๐ฅ๐

Finally!!! This one was a challenge and a half to pull off! First of all, the original mold was a vintage copper mold which gave me zero forgiveness when it came to pouring resin. I had to enlist the help of my mold-making pro @paintedwonderland to help me make a replica in silicone in order to get this massive hunk of fake jello casted. Second, this is my third and final attempt at pulling a successful cast! The deeper the mold and the larger the suspended foods, the trickier it is to get a solid product. It was tricky and I may have cried a few times, but this lamp is a real beaut, especially when lit up at night ๐คฉ
This (remote controlled, plug in) lamp will be available to purchase at the close of my show (few more weeks). If you’d like to get on my mailing list for prices and purchasing info, please email me at mexakitsch@yahoo.com (NO DM’s please, I lose track too easily!) Love and Sparkles, Elrod โจ

You are all cordially invited to sit before me and indulge in this decadently stunning portrait that @littlepaperboats created of me, my work and PRUDENCE! ๐๐๐๐๐ I’m absolutely obsessed with her work and I cannot describe how fucking happy this portrait is making me. Please follow and support this artist, she’s a goddamn living legend! ๐๐๐๐๐
Currently obsessed with creating imaginary cookbook covers ๐ #artbyelrod #mexakitchen Join the @polyesterzine Dollhouse to gain access to more of this content- I have so much fun stuff on the way ๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐๐ฅฉ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฝ
Yes it’s true- I made a handful of mini picnic parfait lamps! These are small bites perfect for a sunny day or anytime you’d like! I think I will photograph and post these mini lamps for sale on my website next week. It’s important that I make artwork in all price ranges so these ones will be priced affordably! I’m making all kinds of flavors and some that are just sculptural (no lights) so keep an eye out for more posting info. I’m also quite elated to work with my long time creative director @delinquentdoll on this picnic themed shoot. She is a brilliant genius with so many kitschy ideas- once this pandemic nonsense is over I hope to work on larger projects with her again. Shes truly an underground art goddess of glittering proportions ๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ (ps- once this series is finished, I will be open to take lamp commissions! So start searching for recipes!) #artbyelrod #mexakitchen
I hope you’ve saved some room for a few more bites! I still have five more recipes to whip up for you kitsch lovers, and these last few are my largest and most elaborate lamps- I can’t wait to share! I’m about to send out my latest price list update, if you’d like to be added to my mailing list, send me an email at mexakitsch@yahoo.com (please no DM’s, I lose track of them too easily). Love and sparkles, Elrod ๐๐ง๐๐ง ๐ ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ๐โจ#mexakitchen
Elrod & Prudence 4EVR ๐งก๐๐ค Don’t forget- Time isn’t real, your body is perfect the way it is, Black Lives Matter and underground art will outlive social media. See you next year ๐ค๐๐งก
*SOLD* Even if you’re a humbug like me, it’s hard to resist a Jell-O dessert as pretty as this during the Holidays! This holiday ring is comprised of a mint julep JellO layer over a creamy pistachio pudding platform. Be as creative as you’d like with the maraschino cherries and piped icing and serve chilled, immediately out of the fridge ๐๐โจ

Here’s the last resin lamp of 2020! I hope it brings a smile to your face and a heavenly jade glow to your dinner table. Standing at 9 inches tall ( and 12”W) this centerpiece style lamp is battery operated so it’s ready to set the mood any time, anywhere. I’m taking a short break away from the art room but I’ll be back in 2021 with the last few pieces of this kitschy collection. Me and Prudence wish you and your loved ones all the love, health and sparkles in the world. Love, Elrod โจ
(SOLD) *Chipped Beef Aspic* If you’re tired of your typical dinner recipes that you have cooked over and over, then try adding your ingredients into a gelatin mold and make it an aspic! Classic chipped beef, steamed carrots and canned green peas all in one dish! That’s the beauty of an aspic- If you think it makes for a great warm meal, then wait until you make it COLD and WOBBLY.

Honestly, meat aspics frighten the living daylight out of me but the colors and the jewel-like quality of this lamp just melt my heart. Unlike my other lamps, this lamp has the option of white lights OR multi-colored lights- SO FUN! It is also a plug-in with a USB end and comes with a remote control so this lamp can be used 24/7 [Not all my lamps are plug-in, some are battery operated because if they are being used a centerpiece on a table, you won’t have any obnoxious wires running over your place settings]. If you are interested in being added to my mailing list to receive information regarding pricing, please email me at mexakitsch@yahoo.com. Love and Sparkles, Elrod #artbyelrod #mexakitchen
*SOLD* Say hello to the ๐ญ๐ฌ Candy Carousel ๐ฌ๐ญ Layers of crushed candies, fruit jelly and decadent hand-whipped cream make this dish an absolute dream. The “Candy Carousel” is an Elrod original creation dreamt up in my own kitschy kitchen โจ Every bite is a sugary sweet reminder to keep a hint of whimsy in your life โจ Once the mold is set, slice and serve with an extra dollop of whipped cream and a generous dousing of rainbow sprinkles ๐ โจ๐ญ

This precious lamp is battery operated and stands at 8” tall (resin sculpture is 6” wide x 3” tall, the ceramic stand is 5” tall) and is perfect as a dinner party centerpiece or as part of your permanent tchotchke collection. I felt like free-styling this “recipe” and just wanted to make something PRETTY and whimsical and something that entices the hungry inner child. I hope you like it. Love and sparkles, Elrod โจ If you’d like to be added to my mailing list for pricing and purchase details, please email me at mexakitsch@yahoo.com (PLEASE NO DM’s) #artbyelrod
*SOLD* You can’t throw a dinner party and NOT offer Deviled Eggs as an appetizer.... you just CANNOT. Which is why, even though it doesn’t fit the theme of “gelatin”, it’s still absolutely necessary that I share this dish with you all! A dish so simple really benefits from using the freshest eggs possible and it wouldn’t be an Elrod recipe unless these deviled lovelies were dusted with glitter paprika. Have a bite and tell me if you can taste the secret ingredient...... I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “L” and ends with “ove” ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Ah! This one makes me so happy!!! I’ve been wanting to see this idea come to fruition for a long time, and I gotta pat my own back and admire the fact that it came out better than I had expected. Even though it doesn’t fit the theme of “gelatin”, it still fits the theme of making all of these pieces FUNCTIONAL ART. I wanted them all to serve a purpose, other than to be admired. Combining art with interior design elements and giving them functional uses has been really fun. This clock, as well as a few others (yes I’m making more of these clocks!) will be up for sale soon. If you’d like to be added to my mailing list to have first dibs on purchasing works from this collection, please email me at mexakitsch@yahoo.com (do not DM me, they get lost in the meme chatter). Love and sparkles, Elrod โจ
Oh one more thing- it has come to my attention that some people think these are edible sculptures- NO! Haha they are all resin-casted, non-edible materials that are intended to last a lifetime ๐
