Halloween games

Halloween is coming up. Im going to a party so I thought I'd make a Day Of The Dead inspired pinata so we can bash it.

Art class two week project

We had a two week still life project. It was really hard to do, but just gotta keep persevering.

Working From Home

I worked from home today. Obviously I got a lot done!

Burmese Coconut pudding

My aunt sent me a recipe for Burmese coconut pudding. It is really simple to make and tastes quite nice!

Recipe:

10-12g(1/2oz) agar agar; colouring optional ;   ½ tin of coconut milk ( 205ml);  450ml ( 14floz) water; 110g(4oz) sugar

Dish or plastic box  12 1/2cm (5inch)

Soak the agar agar for an hour in cold water (can bypass this step )

Drain it completely and put it in a saucepan with water. Bring it to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the sugar in and stir it really well so that all the sugar melts; add the coconut milk, and a drop of colour if desired.

Pour the mixture into the dish to set.

It will set into two layers. An opaque layer will be on the top and a transparent layer on the bottom. It would take one to two hours to set.

Cut it into diamond shape and serve when it is completely set.

Mushi Mushi

What is Mushi? It is a fairly simple play on words - movies and sushi - wittedly thought up by my mate Mike. I had never made rolls before but thanks to the great teachings from Mr. Lin on YouTube I felt like a pro. Sadly, feeling like as opposed to actually being like are two completely different things. It was fun though even if it was a bit messy and fishy.

First attempt at rolling

Um......

Lots of rolling

my mum would be so proud!

Art Class #1

I have started taking 'Painting with acrylics for beginners'. I'm no Picasso thats for sure, but here is my first piece of art work. I didn't have time to finish it. And what did I paint? Its supposed to be a bottle and skull with horns.
