"We want you to play with your food for this week's very special Mashable Vine Challenge. Share your creation with the hashtag #FoodPlay for a chance to be featured on Mashable and have your creation revined.\nThis week, Vine pro Jethro Ames (who was named as one of our 10 best users to follow on Vine) is hosting our Vine Challenge as a guest curator. After Vine launched, Jethro stood out with his creative and technically exemplary stop motion Vine videos. He has since created Vine posts for The Coffee Bean and GE.\nLast Week's Results: 10 Fresh Vine Videos of New Beginnings\nOne recurring theme in Jethro's videos is food. Below are some fantastic ideas and tips from Jethro to help you create your entry this week. Be sure to tweet your video by Tuesday July 23 at 6 p.m. ET with the hashtag #FoodPlay to be eligible.\n\nAdvice From Jethro Ames\n\"I really love the concept of creating clever stop motion [Vine videos] using food found in your home \u2014 either in your pantry or fridge. Normally, stop motion is created with toys or clay. Using food breaks the normalcy and pushes you to think differently about basic food items. \n\"Water biscuit crackers can make for great wheels \u2014 they can also look like Pac-Man if you cut a slice out to form a mouth. You can use peanut butter to make a nice wave. Why not use red licorice to make a surfboard? A Nutter Butter can be the perfect surfer to ride your peanut butter wave.\n\"I like to keep my stop motion pretty simplistic. Simply moving an item from point A to B is all you need. The hardest part of the Vine is coming up with the cleaver idea and determining what food items to tell your story with.\n\"When you do make your Vines, create Vines of things you love. I'm a big fan of video games. I try to utilize my interest in my Vines. If you're into trucks, graham crackers and Oreos are perfect for your Vine.\"\n\nImage: Jethro Ames, Vine"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
