What makes this so personal for me is that it was one of the very first Characters that i made up. I mean i sat for months figuring out what i was going to do, then Baaam! When i decided on re doing my first sketch this happened. My art teacher was right in saying 'Never throw away any of your work'
Next time think twice before throwing your work away, all works have the potential to mean something to someone.:)

Bet you Didn't know I Love to Cook♥

Here's something i made Today♥ How this Famous* recipe i made got put together was when i was wanting to make something, and i love to just throw a bunch of stuff together and see how it tastes. It was some time ago, now i just keep adding different flavours and maybe putting in an extra ingredient or two.

What is SO Awesome about this dish is that its Extremely versatile- It can be for vegetarians [just keep it as is] or for the Meat eaters [ just throw in chicken pieces]

* To me it probably will be, or maybe it was already thought up. . I dont like to use cook books. So I'm not guilty =]

I do, however, like to watch my mom cook♥
