Take a Word--Grandma's Recipes

What I learned most from spending summers with my Nana was not so much recipes, but how to cook.  She had the basic recipes for biscuits, cookies, soups, sauces and pies in her head, and she taught me proportions, and most importantly--not to be afraid to add stuff and experiment with flavors.
Between her and my dad, who was a cook in the Navy,  I can make a mean soup, a great pasta sauce, and take a basic cookie recipe to great heights.

Playing with someone else's style

Svenja Jodicke, an artist living and working in Berlin. Make-up art has really paced up over these years, like the body painting art and lip art.  Svenja’s work is inspired by all kinds of people, places, animals, and other things beyond imagination which really takes her craft to the next level. By adding theatrical feathers, contact lenses and other accessories, Svenja creates some truly vibrant and colorful works. She also creates fabulous fantasy portraits of people and animals.

This is my take on her style of animal portraits.
