The Daily Sketch...
More of a large painting that started as a sketch...it's finally done, yay!!
I have about 6 or 7 unfinished pieces in my art 'closet' at the moment...I have been trying to figure out why this little batch is taking me so long to acutally complete. They are still gestating, I guess. Can't wait to post them one by one as they are ready!
Now..onto matters of the heart: HOME MADE MARSHMALLOWS!!
Super easy, super delicious just as le snack, or plunked into a cup of piping hot chocolate. Enjoy!
