today's lesson...


...is that food photography is much harder than it looks! Luckily, it's more about the lovely, lovely bowl than my lunch (which, incidentally, is the same lunch 5 year old J. is having by special request - complete with dusting of hot smoked paprika - for his packed lunch today at school. It looked so tasty when I made it for him this morning, I had to have some myself).


And my 2011 calendar arrived today (yup, I know it's March but I only just got round to buying one!). Fingers crossed, it looks like it has brought spring with it too. It's printed on my newest favourite thing, banana paper, totally fueling my obsession with everything handmade and recycled and, even better, crammed with cool, quirky images. It's from Ana's lovely shop, Merry Blues Art, over on Etsy.

Plus... stay tuned, because today I start my linocut illustration...

It totally is hard to make food look appetizing in a picture! I feel you. That bowl is adorable.

Agreed Amanda, it was much tastier than it looks here! Don't know how I managed to make fabulously fresh green spinach leaves look so wilted, eek! Thank goodness for the lovely bowl...
