Kaballah Cake Part 2

Last night's Kaballah class went great! I spent the entire day baking and icing the four layer Kaballah cake. I used small 8" disposable cake rounds for the layers. The bottom layer was chocolate and the next layer up was confettii, the next layer up was yellow and the top layer was classic white cake. I used a small scrap of drawing paper rolled up to make the small cylindrical holes that went through all four layers. The top was iced with chocolate icing, leaving the colors of the icing visible, in the pattern of the ten separate. The sides were also iced leaving the bottom layer, the world of form un-iced as this is our world, and what we can see here is un-veiled.
It must have weighed twenty pounds. But most of the class ate some and it was a hit. The next time I will do it even better, and hopefully then I will post a photo. So Be It~!~

The Flea Market

Well...
I am thinking about taking a grand step forward. Although it may seem peculiar to think about drawing portraits in public, to me it is like performing some grand illusion. I had better get all practiced up, for my big debut. I know I have the skills, and I know how to do my gig, but it stills gives me jitterbugs when I think of sitting there, drawing a customers portrait. I'm going to start this at our local flea market, on a Sunday soon, from around 8 am till noon. I'll also exhibit what art I have matted and shrink-wrapped, but I'll be there to put on a show, non the less.
I sure do hope that it all goes right, perhaps I'll create some good art, I suppose I will. Updates soon.
