Its not rocket science. It seems everyone has a go-to quinoa salad recipe thes

e days. Im putting mine here, because it was really yummy, it tastes great even after a week in the fridge (perhaps even better than when I made it, the dressing had a chance to really soak into the quinoa…) and is quick to make in a pinch. I wanted to record the recipe here for my self, and perhaps for anyone out there who would like to try a new one.

I will not tell you quantities, as I cant remember them. sorry. All I can say is that I used a large proportion of Quinoa per other stuff, and it tasted great and lasted longer! Also, if it tastes funny, you might need more salt. Just saying.

Cooked quinoa, (if you are making it to eat now, just run the hot quinoa under cold water to cool it)

fresh tomatoes

cucumber

tiny pieces of red onion

feta cheese

chopped kale

chopped fresh herbs (mint and thyme)

chopped, pitted kalamata olives

Dressing:

white balsamic vinegar

lemon juice

salt

olive oil

Mix it, let it sit, or eat it now. Keep in mason jars and take it for your lunch!

so, though we are moving (we found a place in Killarney) we still have to cook. I made this quiche for the family and it was so yummy I thought I should write it down. Also with moving there are so many bit and pieces to loose , to put it in the “cl

oud” is much safer than my kitchen. And this way you can try it too.

A few weeks ago I had a free morning to do with as I wished. I decided to do a little drawing and posted that one on facebook. Since then I have done a drawing a day. I decided to do an August challenge, one drawing a day. I am finding the experie

nce very helpful. I post on facebook rather than here because I find the response much more immediate, and frankly I am not sure where I am going with this site. I have had quite a few opportunities recently and it feels like this blog is wavering in the land of “Im not sure what I am doing”.

So far the parameters for the project have simply been to draw everyday and to post the work on facebook. I have found that the flood gates have opened and each day I am drawing something completely different from the day before…which is great and it has a journal sort of vibe. But I am also thinking about future projects and how I could redefine the requirements for myself so that my work can improve and follow a path of progression. Also, during this little project I have been invited by 3 separate people to do a children's book. hm. That's a new one.

So. below is a list of ideas I had for future challenges. just so I dont forget.

1. for 7 consecutive days draw the same picture, with varied composition, medium, style and mood, to find the one that best fits the idea
2. Start with 1 drawing and each day choose one tiny aspect of it to develop the next day
3. choose a different random topic from google and sketch images from the net
4. take science books out of the library on a different topic/day and create compositions from random objects
5. Do a whole month of “houses, floating people and trees”
6. choose a writing/quote to do a piece to
7. listen to stories on “the Moth” and do a cover page for their book
8. choose a composition and do a different drawing with it for the week
9. choose a color scheme, medium or style for each week
10. choose a time of the day and do a week of images that reflect that mood

um…that's all I can think of for now. That's 9 months of projects. Good thing I have my own art school!

Hey Everyone!

Its been a crazy long time since I posted here. I have lots of good things in the works, and perhaps a new website/blog in the new year. But for now I have been crazy busy getting ready for the Calgary Arts Academy yearly sal

e. I wanted to share some of the things I will have there as a sneak preview – seeing as I have not posted many of the stuff I have been doing recently. Facebook friends, you can see most of my drawings there, but I haven't put them on here yet.

This year, I will be making more of the “AMAZING SALAD OF THE GODS” that has been so popular in the past. It will be $5 a jar.

In addition I have been making 2012 calendars. These are called “AutoCAD and vegetable print calendars”. I had so much fun making them. Since its a combination of technical work as well as kids-play creativity I think they are perfect for an office, where one needs to remember to play, even when the world need you to be rigid.

I spent all of September drawing illustrations for this little book. Its called “thy heart is My home”, and is inspired by a Hidden Word from the Baha'i scriptures. there are 7 images, and some simple poetic text to accompany. It took a long time figuring out how to print these things, and then when I decided to do it myself, it took a long time to print and assemble them. But once they were finished I am so glad I did. They are all wrapped up and ready to be gifted to someone wonderful.I am selling selected original drawings and paintings. I have them all tagged and hung to display. Most of these drawings have been done in the last few months, some are from the “Drawing/day challenge” I did this summer. All of the original illustrations for “thy heart is My home” are also there…Also, I made many gift-cards of my recent art work. This is a great, inexpensive way to take home an image you love. I got overwhelmed choosing images to print – so I ended up going with just 26. JUST 26!!! so there is plenty of variety to choose from!and last but not least, I am making “Art Kits”. I am so excited about this. I will be including all the supplies for a finished art project that can be kept at home or for a gift. I will be doing youtube videos to show how to use them, they can be completed by kids, toddlers and adults. Super Fun!
