I don't like or eat hot dogs of any kind, whether meat or veggie, but if I did, it'd be a Chicago dog (mustard, sweet pickle relish, chopped onions, tomato, dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt).

I draw flowers well, and I'm not bad at birds and insects. Media-wise, I'm best at pencil and pen and ink, though I've done some decent acrylic abstracts.

#portfolioday, unless it was yesterday. I'm an artist and designer, currently specializing in #patterndesign. I work in a mix of traditional and digital techniques, with absolutely NO AI. I can make it look like crap on my own, thanks.

Everything about this is fantastic. It would seem that carters are a species of animal (that says "ó ó ó"), and infants are born in oyster shells, or possibly that's an infant oyster.

For this week's @spoonflower Palm Springs challenge, I wanted to do something reminiscent of the prints that were worn in its 60s heyday, using iconic images of the time. So we've got palm trees and cacti and breeze blocks, of course, plus big plastic beads and big teased hair. #patterndesign

General Interference with Organizations and
Production
(a) Organizations and Conferences
(1) Insist on doing everything though "channels." Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions. 

(2) Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length.. Illustrate your. "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments. 

(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideratlon." Attempt to make the committees as large
as possible — never less than five. 

[highlighted] (4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently
as possible.

Today is for mezes puszedli, Hungarian soft gingerbread cookies with an egg white and powdered sugar glaze. I used a recipe I found online from a site called Kabi's Kitchen, just adding a pinch of salt and doubling the spices, and they turned out to be fantastic. 10/10 will make again.

Linzer cookies, both raspberry and lekvar, accomplished with hardly any swearing at all. I used the Joy of Cooking's recipe (aka the Viennese Crescents with a little lemon zest, rolled and cut out), which is very easy to work with, and extremely good.

I guess it's time to finally post something on here. Pattern design is one of the things I do, and this is a tiny bit of one of my latest collections. It's over on Spoonflower, if you like that sort of thing.
