Pie Attempt

So, I attempted to make a pie the other day, but it was the first time ever and I did it ALL BY MYSELF. :D I have to say, though, it wasn't that bad. I started of thinking, "I feel inspired! I'm going to make something!" I had been watching a lot of "Master Chef" and seeing all those home cooks make those thing made me want to try. The last episode I saw they had all made cheesecake, and I LOVE cheesecake. I was going to attempt that, but it takes a lot of prep and a lot of ingredients I didn't have. I looked through my kitchen to see what I had and I had pineapple, flour, butter, sugar(and brown sugar) as well as a pie tin and various other things I needed to make a pie,  so that's how I decided it. I made a nice big mess in my kitchen but I managed to make a pretty decent crust, a nice filling(even if it WAS only pineapple) and I put it in the oven at 350degrees and after ten minutes I put some foil over it, after a bit longer I cut a circle in the foil and put it back on for the remainder of the cooking time. When it was done my whole house smelled of sweet pineapple and the crust. For a first try without help(at age 17) I think I did pretty well. The crust was a pretty decent thickness at the bottom, but was a little thick in the edge where the tin goes up, it was a little thin and it probably could have cooked a little longer, but the crust tasted mouthwatering and the pineapple was hot and sweet straight out of the oven. My sister ate over half of the pie all on her own(and I ate the rest :P) I think that this could count as a small victory and a learning experience in my book.

Mermaids

 

 So it has come to my attention that I draw some pretty nice mermaids, but if I try other stuff... well not always quite as nice. It kinda just comes to me when its a mermaid, but I have to fight my imagination when trying to make other things. Also, I noticed that I'm really bad at drawing males. I guess its cuz I'm a girl, but still, its not easy when I want to draw some cool scene with people fighting and I'm limited to who I can use :S Oh well. I'll work it out eventually. Any who, I drew this yesterday(which happened to be my mother's birthday) and I liked it, so here it is :D

Artist In the Making

Woah guys! Guess what I'm going to write about right now! Me! Haha, seriously though I just wanted to update my "To Do List" by adding Artist. Here's just a little something I made a long time ago (okay, May 29, 2012 , but that's almost a year!)I'm not going to be basing my whole life on doing art for a living, but it would be a nice side job. Tell me what you think :D
