Down to Clown

Painting the clown elves now

I think it might have been the greenish black I used to paint the base coat for the Drukhari’s armor, but edge highlighting was hell for those guys, nothing would stick at all seemingly.

I might re-evaluate in the future, but so far this is my running list of things I find easier and more enjoyable than edge highlighting:

  • Painting Faces
  • Painting clown motley
  • Painting literally anything else besides edge highlights

Mini Bakewell Tartlets

I tried out Max Miller’s recipe for Bakewell Tarts, but made them as little mini tartlets instead (so I could eat one and freeze the rest and they won’t go bad).

a cross section

I did like them and they are very rich, but maybe I just like the modern recipe better because I found the historical recipe to not be almondey enough (I love the almonds in a modern Bakewell). So if I made them again, I would add a lot more almond flour (or even some almond extract).

Elf Faces

Spent the day painting elf faces before going to the gym

It is remarkable that I hate edge highlighting so much, that not only did I decide on a color scheme for the razorwing to procrastinate on it, but I also apparently would even rather paint faces than do edge highlighting. Next thing you know, I might even decide on colors for their hair in order to put it off!
