Owl cookies

My friends are back in town for the month, and last Sunday we had a picnic. C:

For the longest time I had this great idea to make owl-shaped cookies, so with the picnic around I figured it was a great time to make them. They are sugar cookies, and their eyes are chocolate chips.

Photos at the park

I finally developed the last couple films I had on me, since January. So here’s me uploading them bit by bit. C:

These are from a picnic a few months ago. The film I used (the Afga vista 200) gave a yellowish-green tint to most of the shots. I kind of digged that, sort of vintage/lomographic feel to them.

The photos are really large–I wouldn’t recommend going past clicking on the thumbnail. :P

I’ve lately been messing around with stencils and spray paint again, to make some blank cards with. I was hoping to sell these on etsy or something, but I’m not sure about it right now. I made them using spray paint, white out, origami, butcher, and tracing paper. C:

Chocolate covered oreo cookie cake

In celebration of summer, hanging out, and Office season four marathon, I made this cake!

This was probably the first cake I’ve made with some sort of filling or layers in it, and I’m really proud of the way it turned out. My mother loves it a lot.

General verdict: pretty easy to make, really delicious, would make again.

Sherlock Holmes booklet

The last project from my graphic design class was a free-for-all booklet about your subject of choice. I had just recently finished reading the Sherlock Holmes anthologies so I thought to do my booklet on him. Instead of going through Sherlock Holmes’ entire life I ended up working on just one of his cases, The Blue Carbuncle.
It was about a 3-week project including the pre-production outlining and scheduling, though our classes met twice a week. I originally was going to make a poster, but after I finished it I realized it didn’t work with the project, so it ended up as my cover, and reused the vector art I made, like the hand and silhouetted geese.

Overall I’d say it’s my greatest accomplishment of the semester. :)

Made with indesign, photoshop and illustrator.

Chocolate-dipped sugar cookies

For my friend’s birthday, I made her these cookies in the shape of pigs.

I shaped each of the pigs with a knife, so each pig looks a little different. If you look closely you can tell which ones my earlier attempts are–they look more like mice.

There was a bit of red food coloring overdose, so the pink pigs are a little redder than they should be, but otherwise I am really proud of these. :)

They are dipped in chocolate for mud.
