Day 05- A picture of somewhere I’ve been to

I randomly picked 29th Jan 2006 it was a rainy old trip to...

I had a lovely day today! We went to the beach this morning before it got to hot. Maddy and Shaughan had a great time while I got my camera out. My mate came up in the afternoon and we sat outside caught up over a few beers and food. We decided to have a New Years shin dig here this year, I'm excited! I was just saying to Shaughan this week that I miss all the parties we had in our old place, it was a perfect place to party! So if you are in Wanganui and have nothing better to do come up and celebrate the start of 2011 with us :)

Shaughan and Maddy this morning

Here is a cute email I got for the recipe exchange - Didee here in Brunswick heads, Australia. Here is my recipe contribution. One I made up in my creative cauldron!

One packet of Spaghetti
One big bunch of mint. (You can use parsley or coriander if preferred however Ive found the mint is a winner.)
2-3 large spoons of plain natural Greek style yogurt
olive oil
two cloves of garlic
small hand full of Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper to taste
2 desert spoons of Macadamia butter or another type nut butter, but not peanut. (ie pine nut, almond)
small hand full of sun drired tomatoes, optional
small hand full of Green olives, optional
small handful of spicy salami, optional

Method
Cook the spaghetti add olive oil to the water to stop it from sticking.
While spaghetti is cooking, chop the mint and garlic very finely and mix in nut butter and 2-3 desert spoons of olive oil to make a pesto.
Drain the spaghetti and add the yogurt and salt and pepper (using two forks to lift and blend the yogurt throughout.
Mix in the pesto mix until the green colour is consistent throughout. add the sun dried tomatoes, olives and salami if desired garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and a few of the uncut mint leaves.

Yum yum. Kai is on!

My Youtube clip of the day is RANDOM, cause that is how I feel today!

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one. Primary colours: Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours: A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...

Art Every Day Month Day 5 - A mellow day for me.

Last night I was thought it would be fun to do different things everyday, to keep my blog interesting. I had high hopes of doing my creativity outside today but because of a snotty nose and sore eyes, I won't be venturing out there. I am going to keep it pretty simple today and create fractals. What is a fractal? A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," [1] a property called self-similarity . Roots of mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by Karl Weierstrass , Georg Cantor and Felix Hausdorff in studying functions that were continuous but not differentiable ; however, the term fractal was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "brok...
