Just a little space to showcase my husband ^zerocomplex's amazing work, because he is made of win and his face can summon unicorns.

I will never forget how Keith's jaw dropped when I opened the package to reveal the gorgeous original... and how I teared up just a little. Thank you so much.

Deviousness Award

With a record level of nominations and suggestions on an almost daily basis, it would be hard to ignore the community call to recognise such a fine example of a deviant as `snowmask. Her constant presence since the formative years of deviantART has never wavered, demonstrating a natural ability to seek out and motivate those in need. Katie's beautifully delicate artworks are elegant and instantly recognisable due to her finely tuned creative style, a clear reflection of her personality. With a multitude of journals which are thought provoking, funny and resourceful, it's impossible not to be touched by such a bright light in our community. Congratulations Katie!

Another success...





Due to the nutritional nature of this particular baked good, cheesecake is not something I make very often. They were always quite good, though not flawless. However, a few days ago, I decided to trek the journey for perfect cheesecake. This was probably reinforced by Keith having bought me a gorgeous new spring-form pan. Made in Germany, no less. hu hu hu.


Having conducted endless researching, and cursing myself for not paying attention to the concerning chapter while studying Baking With Julia over a year ago, I have comprised a recipe with extensive instructions, which proved very successful from the "trial" administered just the day before, as shown in the above photos.


Long since have I appreciated the nature of cheesecake as being essentially a custard, and should thus be treated with utmost care and patience. In addition to the water bath method which I already knew of prior, I also learned the benefits of an extra "steam" bath placed on the floor of the oven. Also acquired a myriad of tricks to eliminate cracking of the cheesecake's surface, as well as to preserve the cake's moisture during the entire process of baking and cooling. I pride myself for having finally thought of placing the spring-form pan in a double lining of large oven bags to prevent seepage from the water bath, which no amount of foil wrapping around the pan could eliminate.


The strawberry sauce depicted is a concoction of Keith's, a simple mixture of a box of ripe, hulled strawberries, sugar, starch, water and a pinch of salt. Heating on low heat for an hour or so and pressing through a sieve yields this delicious, rich sauce.


This is for the connoisseur and novice of the kitchen alike, who enjoy the genuine, delicious goodness of high quality baked goods:




It's been decided!

Question Tiem!


Do you feel the methods you are currently employing as "artistic endeavours" are of a lesser par in comparison to what you really wish to accomplish? In other words, are there genres/methods of artistic creation that you have always wanted to try if not master, yet are currently still lingering in another, perhaps ancillary area? What is stopping you?



I have always wanted to sculpt. And I have the confidence that I'd be pretty good at it too, given the sensitivity of my hands and eyes as well as my aptitude for patience. Just one of those things I need to wrap my head around... and just do... I am no longer making excuses for myself.

It's me, Amity. But, keep it on the down-low because I'm undercover :paranoid:

But anyways, I wanted to ask you if you'd be so kind as to go through the gallery on this account because I am attempting what you describe as "art" and I appreciate your professional opinion and critique :la:
