For a semester and take a baking class at the Art Institute so I can finally learn how to make frosting that is NOT curdled and gross-looking. Or better yet I should write an old fashioned letter to Ina Garten asking for tips on how to make perfect frosting every time. She might even say my name on an episode of Ask Ina. That would complete my life. I secretly wish she was my aunt because (let's be real) she would be the coolest aunt ever. I would take the summers off and hang out with her at the Hamptons and eat croissants all day while simultaneously arranging flower bouquets with her fabulous friends. My frosting would always be perfect if Ina was my aunt. There is no questions about it. Luckily, my family isn't as concerned with the look of food as they are with the taste of it, so my failed bakings are still eagerly consumed every time.
Anyway, I will eventually find the secret to perfect frosting, you guys, I will!

Here are some hand studies I did for class. I decided to use acrylic paint because some people think that I use oils too much. So here I am, shamelessly giving in to peer pressure.
My interpretation of Merlin's soul.
Pancake hand.

Oh the great Barefoot Contessa!
ReplyDeleteShe's a pretty cool chef, just that she always cooks the same thing. Lamb with a shit ton of herbs. xD
If you left I'd be sad.. But I know that you'd be having much more fun where ever you go.
Anyways, your hands look awesome. I didn't even do mine yet. I'm jelly...
Oh don't worry, I was totally kidding about leaving SUVA. I'm just bummed that I have so much trouble making proper frosting!
DeleteNo need to be jelly, I bet you can make a much better pancake hand than me :T
Looking good with those hands! I like that you used different colors for them :3
ReplyDeleteThanks Malissa! Hands are fun to paint :)
