What Kind of Cookie Are You?

You Are a Jam Cookie

On the outside, you project a straight-laced, innocent vibe. But on the inside, you're complex, exotic, and full of flavor.

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

I usually don´t like these test, but I was "forced" to do this one by a friend (Thanks, AC! At least now I´m relieved from my obligation!!!!!! ;) ). I like the result, so I´m posting it here.
So what kind of cookie are you? Please post the links to your cookie test results in the comments!

EDM #108 - Light Bulb

I tend to overdraw and to get lost in details. But I´m trying to keep my lines and the sketches simple. So this one was good practice.

Japanese Ladies (ATC)

Just like the kois from the last post, a lot of the Japanese culture seems amazing. Specially Japanese art is really fascinating. As soon as I find more time, I´ll post about dragons, tattoos, etc.



Here are some Japanese ladies on atcs. Done only with black and metallic markers.

Lucky Koi

Today is jcfischer´s birthday. He´s our best friend from Switzerland.



Koi fish are part of the ancient Chinese culture, and is where the concept of Yin and Yang comes from. Where there is balance between Yin and Yang, there is long life, happiness and abundance. The black fish represents the Yin, and the red fish the Yang. Koi and tattoos of Koi are traditionally considered lucky.
Dear Jens-Christian, we wish you a wonderful and fulfilled life. Happy Birthday!

EDM #54 - Someone You Love

Today my daughter (4 years old) told me that when she grows up, she doesn´t want to be like me. She wants to be normal! ;)
I tried to find out her understanding of the term `normal´, but she didn´t feel like telling me. I adore her and I´m sure I´ll hear more wise words from her. :)



This is my first portrait ever. It shows her asleep on the table - tired from Kindergarden.
There´s a lot to improve and a lot of things I would change, but I´m satisfied with my first attempt.

EDM #46 - Something Holiday Themed

This postal stamp was designed by Chen Shaohua specially for the Chinese New Year 2007 - The year of the red fire pig.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. Those born in pig years tend to have excellent manners, make and keep friends, work very hard, and appreciate luxury. They are very loving and make loyal partners. Humphrey Bogart, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ernest Hemingway, Alfred Hitchcock, Mahalia Jackson, David Letterman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger were all born in the year of the pig.



To those who can read Chinese: The pic I found on the net was so tiny, that I couldn´t see any details of the Chinese signs. So these are not really Chinese signs, but the ones I mostly made up myself.

EDM #104 - Salt & Pepper Shakers

Usually when we go on vacation, we stay at places where we can cook ourselves. It´s always nice to go food-shopping in a different country - sometimes even adventurous.
One thing we always get is a set of salt & pepper shakers. I take them back home with us and once they are empty it´s time for the next trip. The salt is already empty, so the next vacation shouldn´t be too far away. :)



I made a mistake in the moleskine entry. We didn´t get this set in Calpe. It is from Novo Sancti Petri, Spain.

EDM #84 - Bread

Banana Banana Bread

We just had this delicious banana bread today. I found the recipe on recipezaar posted by Shelley Albeluhn. There´s nothing more to say than try it yourself!

Clowns in the Carneval Season (ATC)

I love them both, unfortunately I don´t have the colored one any more. I´m sure these clowns will cheer me up. It´s Carneval season here in Germany and I bet I´ll see some of the clowns out there in the streets the next days.

Moody Blues (ATC)

A lot of thinks have to be done, the kids are sick, no sleep the past nights...
I´m having the moody blues!
