Diva Challenge #309

"Noom"

Noom is the latest pattern presented by Zentangle HQ. I thought I'd give it a go in the round along with some of my Mac 'n Cheese (Sandswirl and Tipple) patterns since I enjoyed them so much last week. I used a watercolored zendala.

Another Bijou in my alphabet series.  I'm creating headers for my pattern library binder.

More Mac 'n Cheese

I had a pretty intense week and took the occasional break to Zen. Armed with only a pen and a couple of tiles I had pre-strung I did a little bit here and there. I shaded them last night and finished them with a coat of clear nail polish. I generally avoid graphite shading because I tend to make such a mess, but not only does the nail polish seal it all, it also deepens the contrast which I lovelovelove.

me at The California Artisan Cheese Festival

Petaluma California

This past Friday I participated in a competitive event where I presented my  "Ultimate Best Bite" at an event celebrating California artisan cheeses.

My illustrated recipe: 

Flatbread cracker, kale pesto, cheese, 

finished with a drop of limonato olive oil &lemon zest

I'm a Cheesemonger at a specialty food market and have only been doing this for two years. It was my first time ever competing and participating in an event such as this. I had to create 200 bites and then stand at a table all day talking about it, over and over and over... It was exhausting!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Your thoughtful and generous comments delight and inspire me!
