Friday Face OFF 11/25/22
Hi Everyone!
I hope all my US friends had a nice TG and everyone else a just a nice day overall. Ours was small and quiet. Talked to my family on the phone and watched football with Mr. M. As you know today is Friday Face OFF. The place where anyone can show any kind of face in any medium. My face today, you got it, is another skull creature. hee hee hee. I made boils ready to blow. OK don't get sick. It's all in fun and art. And I did have so much fun making this one. Oh what am I writing, I have fun making all of them. LOL
This starts with a light layer of crinkle skin and painted with a base coat of acrylics. |
Cover the eyes, mouth and start makeing the boils. |
I love this skin so much! |
Shaping the yese and lips. |
Starting to paint the boils. I did a lot of research on what inflamed boils really look like. I made these so when touched they feel soft like a real boil. It is so cool..... |
I wish I could get a better shot of the detail in the boils.
|
My daughter and her husband. Tonight.
That's it for me tonight.

Hi Everyone!
I made lemon curd to top the cookie with. |
One night I made Sweet n Sour Pork over rice. Not my favorite meal but Mr. M. loves it. |
I mentioned last week I was in lemon mode. How about pumpkin lemon cake?
|
I will admit I did make the lemon forsting a bit strong. So only a thin layer of frosting to seperate the cake layers.
|
I did get some shrimp on sale and made shrimp fried rice. Mr. M. could eat rice everyday. Me.. not so much. I ust ate the shirmp. |
Now this I could eat more often than we do. The well toasted bread is Mr. M's. |
And pizza I could eat everyday. LOL |
I try to save money where ever I can. Cooking is one of them. When making potatoes and, in the case, Brussels sprouts. I cook them together. Boil the potatoes in the water while I am steaming the veggie.
|
These turned into mashed. |
oops not cauliflower... Brussels sprouts :) |
TG dinner will be Manicotti. It's all ready to go into the oven. |
I place scewers, that I broke off, into the backing dish so when I place foil over the dish sauce and cheese doesn't stick to it. Off to the fridg for this. |
Now for the Whipped Shortbread Cookie recipe. Sooo easy.

Hi Everyone!
How lucky am I? Mr. M. saw that I was strugling to create something with the wrong materials I have on had. Today, he hands me the mail. Now, I didn't order anything from Amazon. He just gave me one of those, look what I did for you, smiles and shrugged. I opened the box and OMG!!!! just what I needed (and wanted)
