Scraps of memory...

So I went online trying to find the St. Nick cookies - I don't think they were exclusive to the little bakery because my husband's grandma probably wouldn't have known about it. But she's very wise, so maybe she did... Needless to say, I couldn't find them. But I did find the St. Nick scraps at the German Corner Store. They're really beautiful. If I can find a recipe, I can make them - but most of the recipes for St. Nicholas Day cookies are very similar to gingerbread, and these were definitely not gingerbread. They were more of a butter cookie with icing.
Maybe I can make some sort of butter cookie, or cut-out cookie. I don't think I need a cookie cutter, because I can cut around a scrap with a knife... I'll have to think on this one. Authentic would be so much better.

Art Art - A Heart in New York

If I had a million dollars, well, I'd buy you a green dress - but not a real green dress, that's cruel. And if I had a million dollars, well, I'd buy you some art - a Picasso or a Garfunkel. If I had a million dollars, well, I'd buy you a monkey - haven't you always wanted a monkey? Happy birthday Art - November 5!

Photo Mosaic Project

This is my first attempt at blogging. All I have to talk about is miscellaneous small art projects for now, but they may be somewhat interesting. Right now I'm helping a friend with a cinema installation art project - It deals with the ideal body and the concept of Barbie being fake. I downloaded MacOSaiX and created a photo mosaic of a plus-sized model. You have to look closely to see all the small photos that make up this larger one.
