I used a sprite of Sword Kirby from Kirby Superstars. Edited via ms paint, with some alterations and a ton of perler beading... and voila!

Hello everyone!
so this was first attempt at making bread... with a bread machine... without a manual.
i just found a simple recipe and went with it. it didnt turn out too bad. and i certainly will be making my own bread more often from now on.



Recipe:
1 cup Warm Water
4 teaspoons oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon dry milk
3 cups Bread Flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1. Add measured ingredients to pan, yeast last
2. Select size, crust color
3. Remove carefully, let cool.

So, since making this bread, Ive made an attempt at cinnamon raision bread, but that ended up tasting rather... airy? i cant quite describe it. perhaps almost rancid? i dont know what could have caused this. all of my ingredients seem to be of good quality. perhaps it had too much salt, or the wrong flour (i used all purpose)?

and also, i was wondering, would using all purpose flour, as opposed to bread flour make a really big difference?
and can anyone recommend a fool proof recipe for bread machine bread, that uses all purpose?
im open to any suggestions. especially on simple recipes. thanks everyone!

So, my sister requested a scoodie after seeing them here on craftster. and she insisted the thing be blue and green plaid. so i though and i thought... where in the hell am i going to find blue and green plaid. joanns.. no luck.. walmart... pfft. alas i stumble upon my laundry. pajama pants with a hole in them... bingo!
fleece lining and all that.

Finished product.
(clearly i am one happy camper, unfortunately this is going to my sister)


karate choppin' scoodie with pocket!

its an all butter crust, and an all strawberry filling. tasty tasty. my favorite of all time.
oh and its not burned, the image is just dark.

freezer paper + craft paint and medium =

I bring you... fudge crinkles. i was really hesitant to try this ever so popular recipe. but when they came out, they were so beautiful and incredibly tasty, i just had to post them to brag about this awesome recipe.

they taste like brownie edges, with some soft brownie like centers. mmmm. who doesnt love the edges?!?!

...GULP. GULP. GULP.

stencil!


and the result... excuse the frumpiness.




I just googled octopus stencil, found this cool one, but it was a photograph of it stenciled onto cement. so i photo-shopped it up. the shirt is also a recon... that i ended up making a tad small. oh and yes i know that color isnt exactly "made" for me. ugh. but i love the octo... 

comments and the like are welcome.

the quality of this photo, (and shrinkage) does not do this justice. its originally 10x10. its suffered some water damage due to a bad winter in my instructors office (building flooded) and she had these photos taken afterwards. also, my fault for resizing it in mspaint and compromising the image quality. eep.

anyways-
this is acrylic goache on bristol board. it was a project for my color and design course, back in the fall of 06.
the assignment was complimentary colors, with added tones and shades or whatever to create a vibrating effect. inspired by... ARGH, i cant remember?!?! you know... that guy who does the interlocking fish and birds and whatnot? starts with a.... help me out, people 

This bag was made for the Superhero/Comics swap, for my wonderful swap partner Altair.
and my VERY FIRST experience stenciling anything. i probably should have started with something a bit simpler. drafting out the stencil and cutting it, took ages. lots of trial and error. and especially the importance of adding breaks.

Its the character Deadpool, stenciled, and hand painted with freezer paper, acrylic paint and fabric medium on cotton. i also made the bag! the quote is just a scrap, cut to shape, and ironed with heat-n-bond. lettering was carefully traced.

this stencil took FOREVER, and i wish i had a better camera so that you could read the quote clearly. its really quite fabulous: "You just killed the nice deranged chick from the juice bar that I was gonna score with someday maybe!"


oh and a link to the original...

I made this stencil from an image i googled.
i seem to have saved over the original, but oh well.

its orange craft paint with fabric medium. stenciled with freezer paper and an immense amount of patience, on a brown tee shirt.

please excuse the pet hair, and poor photo quality. this is a photo, before wash, but after wear afterwards the stencil cracked. i think i put WAY too many layers of paint. it looked screen printed at first... than it didnt anymore. 



close up... in grey scale to minimize glare and poor photo quality... eep.
