Hello, Fall.

Rainbowlicious.....Muffin Style

 

We Love Rainbows.

I've been wanting to try these Rainbow Cupcakes

{Rainbow pancakes are next}.

So we did.

They came out really Fantastic looking...

I didn't even frost them because I didn't want to hide any of the CoLoR~

we got lots of compliments on them.

 

Gather your supplies:

White Cake Mix

Food CoLoRing

Six Bowls

Muffin / Cupcake pan

Mix the cake mix per instructions.

USE THE EGG WHITE ONLY!!!

if you add the Yolk,

it makes the batter yellow

and your colors will be off.

I used a measuring cup

to equally divide the batter into the bowls.

It worked out to approx. 3/4 cup of batter 

in each bowl.

Start coloring to your desired shade or satisfaction.

Once you have done that,

start layering in your pan.

 I used a Muffin pan for 2 reasons:

1} The bigger size yields a better Rainbow

2} 6 Muffins will disappear quicker than 12 Cupcakes

and yes, I used the old

ROY G BIV

to make sure I was layering correctly!

{obviously, the Purple is IV}

Bake

Cool

Viola!

it just makes me so damn Happy.

Tania Marmolejo

I discovered Ms. Marmolejo today, 

in the midst of my cyber~surfing;
a standout Art,
in the overwhelming sea of images.....

I was immediately SmiTTen

They are,
Seductive and Inviting.
Inducing within Me, a desire to leap into the
painting and be with her....

The Artist...

She inspires Me.

She is with Her work

where I want to be with Mine.

Her figures are Realistic 

with this Dreamy quality.

{sigh}

To render that in Paint and Pencil....

Her LoVe for Women
and their Beauty 

seems obvious to Me. 

I'm not a critic,

I just know what appeals to me.

I look at her art~

I want to spout Poetry....

I know no Poetry.

just sayin.

Not being prolific in this type of painting,

these types of prints always draw me in.....

{yes, yes I did}

Of course the Red paint is Lagniappe.

Here at home, Lagniappe is where it's at, 

the best part, 

a TreaT!

It looks to me like Cadmium Red Deep

BeStiLL my beating Heart.

Out with the cold, in with the woo.  

~E. Marshall, "Spring Thought"

Now every field is clothed with grass, 
and every tree with leaves; 
now the woods put forth their blossoms, 
and the year assumes its gay attire.

"Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly--and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing."

Priscilla's Earthly Delights

Early treat~ screw the chocolate, ok, well, not screw the chocolate, save it for later.

But hey, look at what my heart shaped box contained~ a new pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers.

Fuckin A!
{Priscilla says: Way Fuckin A!}

cause my man loves me.

UFO ashtrays

ok, i have a thing for ashtrays...srsly, I do.
My most favorite one I had,
was one I got from a Turkish airport years ago.
It eventually broke to  bits.

One, they remind me of my dad. 

He was a SERIOUS! smoker, almost 2pack a day habit
of NON filter Pall Mall. 

Started smoking when he was 12, surprisingly, didn't kill him.

Second, they have a social gathering memory to them. 

Being a Former {but occasional partaking} smoker, 

it invokes memories of group gatherings,
with spirits, food, and merry making,
....weird, but true. 

Third, I like them better than t shirts and shot glasses.
Especially the big ones.

Plus you can use them for other things, like incense, and jewelry.

Does that mean I want dirty stinky ashtrays laying around?

Noooo.

I totally want one of these.
I don't even want to use it; its just so CooL looking.
