Painting the Road to Emmaus Story on bread
If you paint water onto sliced bread, the painted section will take longer to toast in the toaster. The effect is to make "hidden" pictures visible after toasting. The moisture keeps the bread from toasting as quickly where the moisture has been applied.
Tips:
- Use dense white bread that will hold up to a brush and water. "Wonder Bread" will not do well.
- Add cornstarch or flour to make a light paste to paint with.
- Stick with symbols and simple images. One word messages, etc, as it's not easy to paint detail into bread.
- Put part of the message on one side of the bread and then the other.
- O Taste and See! Sharing the message with each other, adding some butter and jelly.
A "painting with objects, bread, and lemon juice" on paper idea is described at the end of the Writing Team's "Road to Emmaus" Art Workshop (supporting member access needed).
Update: A "keyword/phrase and image of Jesus" on bread that's then toasted, is used in the Writing Team's "Jesus Feeds the 5000" Storytelling and Toast Workshop (supporting member access needed).
