New Website

The opening weekend of the exhibition was a blast and I´m really happy about it. More about it soon on my new website 365skulls. See you over there!
Updates about drawings, exhibitions, etc will mostly be posted on the 365skulls-blog.

My First Exhibition

A lot has change the past months (more to follow soon). The best of all: I´ll be having my first exhibition "Skulls & Wings" starting October 15, 20011. You can see my pictures at the very cool shoe workshop heels angels. If you are around check out the cool shoes and the pics. :)

Happy New Year!

I´m almost a month late wishing you a Happy New Year, but better late than never. I´ve been neglecting my blog ever since I discovered facebook and I think I will try to get back to blogging more often and spend less time on facebook.

 

As most of you know 2010 was the year of RED. 2011 will be the year of ANGST. It would be wonderful if you could join my project and tell me “What are you afraid of”. The project started January 1, 2011. Answers from people around the world are published daily. The website is called 1 Question 365 Answers as I plan to have a new project with a new question every year. Join me on twitter and foursquare to know where I´m currently at. In case we are at the same place at the same time, just send me a short message and I can add your answer to the project.

 

Or you can send me your answer (text, sketch, …) on a piece of paper no bigger than 3 x 5 inches (8 x 13 cm) portrait format. Contact me for my address.

Rainbow Cake

The past few months haven´t been that much fun and I wasn´t well enough (due to a pneumonia and a bronchitis) to celebrate the kids´ birthday parties properly. So now that I am felling better I thought I should make up with a colorful cake. They wanted to have a rainbow cake and that ´s what I made.

Coloring the batter:

The batter dropped into the cake pans:

The baked cake...

... with the frosting and the candles.

And the fabulous and colorful inside of the cake:

We had fun eating the cake, even when most of our family didn´t really enjoy this "unhealthy" treat. It is just not common here in Germany to eat such bright and colored stuff.  But the cake tasted great and my kids and I liked it. I followed these instructions and used them on this recipe.

Project RED

Project RED is coming to an end. I need only 20 more answers for the year 2010. Help me to complete the project by sharing your thoughts. Let me know, what comes to your mind, when you hear the word "RED". Thanks!

You can read more about the project at "What is RED for you".

Window Shopping in Paris

Most of the time, my sister and I just spent hours walking around watching people and everything what was going on around us. Paris is really made for that.

L´As du Fallafel

"(...) you can’t come to Paris and not have a fallafel at L’As du fallafel. It just isn´t done." David Lebovitz

And he is right. L´As du Fallafel "is recommanded By Lenny Kravitz" too. My sister took the Fallafel and I tried the Shawarma. While the Shawarma was delicious, I quickly envied my sister, whose Fallafel was heavenly. We ate outside and found a secret and quiet(!) green spot in the center of Paris. I won´t reveal the place, but there was really no one around. Just us, the food, the gras and the pigeons. Anybody recognize the place?

Kosher Paris

Paris has plenty of kosher stores and shops. So no need to go hungry on our trip. I can tell you, coming from Munich, Paris is just kosher heaven for me. Bakeries, fast-food, Indian restaurants, Maroccan food, chocolateries,... all available kosher. That meant heavy luggage on the way back to Germany. As we were here only for a few days we managed to visit only the Jewish quarters around Rue des Rosiers (historic Marais district) and Rue Richer (9th arrondissement). I´ll be back with my daughter in December, with another empty suitcase waiting to be filled.
