Creativity comes in many sizes and shapes. For Thanksgiving I was asked to make dessert. My favorite task! My goto cookbook is the Joy of Cooking. This is the raspberry chocolate cream cake, which begins with a genoise (unleavened cake) and involves about 500 steps and every bowl and utensil I own. Also Chambord soaked into the cake layers. Seriously delish.
I also finished the card with the kimono pattern.
Hmmm…. I loved this pattern so much, where shall I find more? I do love Islamic tile patterns. There was a great book on these at the library if I can find it.

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.

That cake looks decadently wonderful. I’ll bet it was a huge hit! YOur design is also lovely and lacy. Have a great day!
