Absolutely the most satisfying moment in this hobby: adding a catchlight to an eye to make the figure come alive. 🤩 (assuming you don’t end up with a major screw-up.)

Turkish Breakfast - the best way to enjoy the remaining amazing tomatoes from our backyard as the summer comes to an end.
I have maybe 10 tomatoes left, which means we will soon revert back to eating demi-tomatoes from the market until next July.

I am painting the eyes but now thinking maybe I should keep one as a milky white cataract eye.

Work in progress!
I am surprised how fast I am able to sketch this one after working on the last figure for months!

I second this. And the most outrageous thing is nobody prepared us for this. It is expected that we’d take it gracefully.
There is nothing graceful about it.

I find cooking for a crowd the most therapeutic activity that lifts my spirits. There is nothing like serving a big dinner to friends to share the joy and laughter after a tough, busy work week. ❤️

I have an excellent brownie recipe - actually more accurately Katherine Hepburn does. It is chocolatey gooey and low in sugar. Also a real brownie, not a moist chocolate cake pretends to be one.

I’ll send you the recipe.

Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies Recipe

Much like its author, this recipe is a no-fuss classic It calls for just 1/4 cup of flour, which yields an incredibly rich and gooey brownie, and it's super easy to make So easy, in fact, that baking ...

İzmirliler Asfalya’yı Yunandan, Sigorta’yı İtalyanlardan (Sicurta) alıp, fuse ve insurance kavramlarını gayet güzel ayırmışlar bence.

Bağımlılık gibi abi, bırakana kadar hayatında olmayınca ne kadar özgür olabildiğini hatırlamıyorsun.

Evet kökeni o ama İzmir’de herkes öyle kullanır.
Asfalyalarımı attırma ayrıca 🤪

Orası doğru, hele firmayı tırstıracak yeterli followers varsa.

People trust podcasts more than social media. But is the trust warranted? theconversation.com/people-trust...

Analysis of 36,000 episodes found "nearly 70% contained at least one unverified or false claim."

"Research also shows political podcasts often rely on toxic or hostile language."

People trust podcasts more than social media. But is the trust warranted?

Just because you ‘heard it on a podcast’, it doesn’t mean the info is necessarily more trustworthy than a random social media post.
