Need Category help for odd shaped potatoes cards
Jan 17th, 2011, 1:56pm
 
I have alot of weird shaped potatoes, yes, potatoes, that I took pictures of that look all the world like other things!  How do I categorize a weird shaped potato? Some look like sea life, others people, etc.    I have put some under blank cards/food and wine, blank card/sea life, but not sure if that is correct.  Would like to correct the ones I've submitted if GCU has better suggestions.  I just submitted some and I'm waiting for approval if staff wants to see what I mean and give me some direction.
 
Thanks alot,
 
Appreciate it as always,
Trish

Hi Trish,
Maybe you can think of what emotion or occasion the potato evokes.  A happy potato might be for a Birthday, Congratulations, Happy Anniversary, etc. category.  A potato that looks human might be for St. Pat's Day if you put an Irish cap on it, or some shamrocks scattered about...get my drift?

Yes I agree.  Choose your primary category based on the occasion of the card.  Secondly >> Humor would likely be fitting assuming most people will find odd shaped potatoes humorous (ie: odd, peculiar, weird, unusual...).  Another second category option is Collections >> Food & Wine.  
 
Google to find some good terms that shaped potato aficionado use and include these in your title and keywords ie: "shapely vegetables"...
 
Hope this helps and bring on the taters  Smiley
 
ps: i recently discovered a peanut shaped like a tiny bird but have yet to get a good photo of it.   Smiley
