My grandaughter, Crystal came
over with the cake not decorated as
I used to do them. But alas, all my
decorating supplies were not to be found.
Soooo, it was a fun time improvising and
trying to get it to a stage where
both of us could stand it. It went
to a farewell get together that night
and I'll bet nobody ever saw a cake
with that size rose on it before.
Years from now she can remember
it and laugh again I hope.

That is wonderful! Great drawing! I decorated cakes too. Learned early not to rely on all the gadgets.

Good job., great bonding with your grandaughter., Love the sketch., how you do it all truly amazes me.
I've misplaced or lost my decorating supplies too...but I love your drawing...nice work!
Fabulous!!
Do I remember correctly that you do all of this in the Moleskine sketchbook (lavendar band) with watercolor pencils?
Great post, love her face and that cake looks amazingly yummy!!
Shirley: Yes it's the mini Moeleskine blank one---this time---I use a bigger one sometimes--and I am not using regular watercolors, but the Farber Castel watercolor pencils and waterbrushes---this uses less water nd is easy clean up. Winna

That's a great portrait, and it'll be a wonderful memory in the future. Love the fork!
I thought it was a new spin on American Gothic...loved the fork!
GREAT!
Wonderful! She's a beauty, Winna.
This is wonderful. But then all of your journal spreads blow me away. You inspire me to push on and keep trying. Love your book as well.
Nice piece and a great memory.
