It's been almost a year

Well, first off, for anyone looking at this now I sincerely apologize for not having updated my blog in almost a year. I have taken a break from art for the time being, and have instead been working on other things. One of these "other things" has been spending a lot of time baking when I'm not working at my other job. Here's a couple of pics of the tasty vegan creations I've been whipping up:

Mini (Gluten-Free!) Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing and Candied Ginger

Fresh Fruit Tarts with Oatmeal Cinnamon Crust

Strawberry Chocolate Cakelets with Ganache Frosting

I've also been doing a bit of henna, which I learned how to mix and make myself, and apply with pretty satisfactory results!



And last but not least, I planted my very own vegetable garden in the summer of 2007 and managed to grow herbs and veggies without *too* many slug casualties.

Eggplant, Tomatoes (Cherry, Golden, and Beefsteak), green beans, basil, chives and parsley!

I think from now on I will start to move my creative energy over to baking and decorating desserts, which I find much more fulfilling (and tasty!) than what I've done up until this point, and which is just as much art to me as something that goes onto paper instead of a plate!
