I saw this cake on the cover of Bon Appetit magazine and decided to give it a try for Christmas. Lots of work but it was fun and tasty, too. I've never made chocolate "clay" before, but it was easy, especially with the pasta machine.

Zent Tangle MOLLIE
Today in our art group we worked on small zen tangles. I decided to do one of my cute little Kooikerhondje, Mollie.

Fusia - Single Blossom
My Mother-in-Law asked me to paint her a floral picture for her birthday. I chose a photo I had taken of two fuchsia blossoms in my backyard. I was having trouble with the distant blossom so I decided to crop the main flower because I am running out of time - I need to mat it and get it ready for her birthday tomorrow.

ZenTangle #3 (Trading Card)
We took our first camping trip of the season this weekend and spent part of our time working on Zen Tangles. As usual, my talented daughter is always a few steps ahead of me creating outrageously wonderful work. :) We both find working on a Zen Tangle to be extremely relaxing. Here is my "trading-card" size finished product.

ZenTangle #2
We went the Tom Chapin concert at Mitchell Park in Palo Alto this evening, sat on the lawn with a ton of other families, kids were climbing trees, dancing, there was a guy juggling, all having good old-fashioned summertime fun. Rick's Icecream had a booth and Jeff got us all these huge Amish-style icecream sandwiches. While we were singing along to the music Liz and I were also busy sketching. Here is the ZenTangle I drew.
