Artichoke Dip

This is one of those dishes that everyone, whatever their tastes may be, loves. It’s really good. I make this as comfort food as well as for parties. It is tasty with crudites, steamed broccoli, toasted bits of bread, chips, or whatever you like. It contains one of my favorite seasonings: nutritional yeast. According toContinue reading “Artichoke Dip”

GF Carrot Cupcakes

I know you’ve all been making almond milk…and you just don’t know what to do with all that pulp! Here is another recipe for you. (If you don’t have surplus pulp, I suppose you could still make these all the same.) These carrot cupcakes are moist, fluffy and soft. I used this recipe as aContinue reading “GF Carrot Cupcakes”

Creamy Hemp Seed Salad Dressing

I’d like to tell those of you who don’t already know, about the wonders of hemp seeds. This super-food has amazing qualities both culinary and health-wise. When consumed raw, hemp seeds are a healthy dose of essential fatty acids, omega-3s, and antioxidants. We like to sprinkle them on salads, omelets, and dips.

The teacher who was the driving force behind this project later commissioned me to do a piece in her back yard, on an outdoor fireplace chimney. She gave me total artistic freedom, which is my absoluteContinue reading “koi mosaic”

I Heart Broccoli

Did you know that one of the best things about broccoli is the heart? This is what we call the tender, crisp, juicy center of the stalk. When prepared with the crowns, it’s like adding an entire new vegetable to the mix. Every time someone discards the stalk in our presence you can be sureContinue reading “I Heart Broccoli”

design for kelp mosaic

I’m using this blog to archive not only day to day mosaic progress but also sketches and cartoons that have or will become mosaics. This is the cartoon for an outdoor shower in Coronado, CA. I am so happy that the recipient of this mosaic let me do as I would. I really enjoyedContinue reading “design for kelp mosaic”

butterfly progress…

This is going to go in a client’s back yard, suspended from a metal frame so that light can shine through from behind. I really like how the monarchs are coming out, although as usual it is far more work than I imagined it would be. You’d think by now I’d be good at gaugingContinue reading “butterfly progress…”
