Prompt: Rancor (May) Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: Attempt at chocolate stout cupcakes Project Link: N/A Brief Description: I broke out a cupcake mix from my pantry, and they…did not turn out. The flavor was good, but the texture was so. bad. To the extent that I almost used these for the small/wrinkly Yoda prompt. But ugly won the day, unlike my cupcakes. Luckily, they didn’t use the whole beer, so I could easily drown my sorrows. Project Photo(s):

@geekgirl You’re on a roll! I especially love the almost hidden textural elements in the palette and the bottom row of magnets
@gozer I have basically no drawing skills, so I’m totally in awe of the likeness you captured in those ATCs.
@Lynx I love the variegation you got in the twine and the way you incorporated the hummingbird. (Unrelated to your project, I also love your phrase “oatmeal cookie chasers.”)
