And now for the food porn:

Baking!
How to keep busy: sculpting marzipan koi fish (note to self: does not work with homemade marzipan), learning to make marshmallow fondant (stickiest substance on god's green earth!) and deep-frying homemade apple cider donuts in a 1/2 quart saucepan (worked great, but all the frying credit goes to Eric).

A food interlude
It's kind of no secret that i like to cook/bake. When it comes to baking, the more ridiculous and elaborate, the better. It's kind of a secret (but not anymore i guess) that i've recently been considering going back to school for Baking/Pastry Arts. Along those lines, i've been busy lately playing with my food:
(all are sculpted and hand-dyed marzipan)

"Inflatable Love Doll Madonna and Child", latex enamel on canvas, 2009(it's kind of tough to photograph metallic paint...)

Some Knitting Projects of Late
i keep meaning to take this blog more seriously. It's just that, when faced with all the things i need to do in a given 24 hour period, "update the blog" doesn't even make it to the top ten. i'm really hoping to change that... one of these days.
Anyway, i've been knitting a fair bit lately. i've got a shawl started for my mom's birthday (Clapotis from Knitty):
It's coming along nicely. Bonus: the cat can use it as a cocoon!
Awhile back, i also made a nudibranch as a V-day giftie for a certain Someone (another pattern from the brilliant Hansi Singh):
Also, some armwarmers (pattern here):

On or relating to being sick of the previously posted painting...
Behold! A series of drawings of things i find funny. (Thanks Sean Landers! ["People always say to me, 'i could paint that!' And i say, 'Yeah, so why don't you?']) Throughout Western MA, i kept seeing these picnic area signs wherein the tree is leaning rather precariously. Here's a crappy photo of one:
Anyway, other ideas include: The Hardin Family Seals (the seal of approval and the seal of disapproval [interpret "seal" as you like until further notice]), an exact rendering of "Labia Menorah", and something else that i completely forget now... let me get back to you on that.
