January 4, 2008 Day 260
It is raining heavily here, and there is a snow blizzard in the Sierras. We are supposed to go to San Francisco today to have lunch with my sister Mary. So much for sunny California.
I did a quick 6" x 9" drawing today in black and pale green:
Drawing #265 6" x 9"
The big project we are doing this week with our granddaughters is making a gingerbread house. Using molded cast iron forms, we made the pieces of the house by pressing the dough firmly into the molds and then baking them. It turned out that rolling the dough with a rolling pin created finer details than simply pressing with our fingers. The next stage will be construction using special icing as the mortar.
I also got to go to an Apple store today (we don't have one in Ithaca) and fell in love with the Imac.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
