I presented an air-drying clay that was called cold porcelaine before, here is another, similar cold porcelaine recipe.
I have absolutely to try it!

Crocheted Easter Egg
Ok, the title only tells half of it: it’s not only about simple crocheted Easter eggs, it’s about crocheted Wedgwood- and Fabergé Easter eggs!
(She added a tutorial on how to crochet the eggs to the Wedgwood Easter eggs).
Compare them to ‘real’ Wedgwood and the ‘real’ Fabergé Easter eggs: it’s special, isn’t it?
Happy Easter crochet ;-)

Apple Swan
He looks cute, doesn’t he?
He should go along well with the penguins ;-))

Chocolate Bowl
I already presented this technique, although using wax and the chocolate was only mentioned in a comment.
Now you can really see such a chocolate bowl – looks great, doesn’t it?

Garum
Lately I read several historical novels about Caesar and Cicero – and at some point they all mention Garum – the notorious fish sauce which the old Romans seem to have poured over nearly everything (I understand that it was the ancient ketchup ;-)).
That’s why I wanted to know whether the recipe is still known.
It is.
And if you will excuse me I stick to ketchup.

Penguin Hors d’oeuvres
Aren’t those penguines sweet?
I really have to make them once!
Well, of course they’re not sweet, they’re made from olives! ;-))
Apparently it’s not so easy to eat them because it’s difficult to bite into those cute penguines, but after the first bite that doesn’t seem to present no more problem ;-))

Tea Dyed Doily Scarf
I must confess that in fact I like to crochet doilies – but I don’t want to have them, because I don’t have a clue about what to do with them ;-).
That’s perhaps the reason why I like so much putting together things from squares or the like ;-))
Well, now I can make me such a doily scarf ;-)
I think that you can very well hand-dye it with tea or coffee.

Faux Hot Chocolate
No real hot chocolate but guaranteed very yummy are these mug cakes.
She made them this way because she wasn’t very satisfied with her 5 minute chocolate cake.
So perhaps it wasn’t my fault that my 5 minute chocolate cake wasn’t a complete success ? ;-)

Plaster and Crisp Bag Penholder
I presented the origamic architecture pencil holder before, here something for people who don’t like it so fiddly: a pen holder made from a plaster-filled crisp bag.
I like the idea :))
