@geekgirl You’re on a roll! I especially love the almost hidden textural elements in the palette and the bottom row of magnets :laughing:

@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.”)

Project Name: Pizza sauce

Description - made pizza sauce in my quest to go garlic free. Chose the prompt “Verily, is that a Funnel Cloud?” because no matter how careful I am I always end up with red splatters all over my stove when I cook with tomato sauce.

How did it taste? Ooh, I’d miss garlic!

I love garlic a lot. The garlic infused oil helps add in the garlic flavor without the part that causes me distress.

But it’s taking some getting use to to not eat stuff with garlic. It’s in every freaking thing!!!
