“You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.” ~Jack London~
I made some Blonde Brownies for Sunday’s Super Bowl. We still have some hanging around…it was a big batch. I always forget to take a photos of my culinary efforts. Here’s the recipe I used…check Food dot com.
I finished up another set of 4x4s yesterday. I used acrylic paint, collage, Caran d’Ache crayons, and soft pastels. I sealed it with a coat of gloss gel. I learned a great trick. If your thinner papers tend to curl up around the edges while painting or gluing, coat the back side with gesso and dry it with a hair dryer or heat tool…it will flatten out…amazing 🙂
I did plan to try and do 29 faces challenge for this month….see the sidebar. I will do some because I’m always drawing or painting faces. Here’s a small ink sketch with a brush and ink. The second one is a thin Sharpie marker and ball point pen drawing:
Here are my latest 4x4s, numbering 29-32. I won’t be using that gloss gel over my work again…it left a milky cloudy film…I can tell a difference in the photos:
The Blonde Brownies sound delicious…especially since I can’t eat chocolate. I will try them and use some other kind of chips; maybe peanut butter.
I’m really enjoying your 4X4 series.
