PETUNIA

Today I completed a sketch of me and my dear friend, Violet.

I have lovingly nicknamed her Petunia.

I sketched this from a photo of us taken on my 40th birthday this year.

Violet surprised me by driving from her home in Carstairs, Alberta

 to my home in Canal Flats, B.C., to spend the weekend with me.

 CHOCOLATE  PASTE  ROSES

On Friday, March 28th, my mother-in-law

celebrated her 65th birthday. I decided to make 

a chocolate paste recipe that I'd seen on Pinterest.

Below are my roses and leaves that I'd made from 

my heart shaped cookie cutter.

I traced my cake pans onto a large sheet of sketching paper so that I could practice making my arrangement.

I used a small brush and painted the words onto the 

cut-outs using a blue food colouring.

I made an extra little cake just in case!
