Tina’s Photo Project

The following message is from Tina! I just copied and pasted it here from her blog, so feel free to check out the original. – Linzi

I recently participated in a craft swap where (bear with the complicated description):

1. I took 3 photos and assembled a triptych with those photos
2. I received photos from 3 different people and could do “something” with those photos to make them more mine

So first, here is my triptych of Golly, my service puppy in training. I call it SML, the darn puppy just keeps getting bigger.

Photo Swap!

Thanks Ayaka, Tina, and Linzi for your super cool photos :)

For tonight’s Game Night I tested out my mom’s craft swap recipe using Sabrina’s adjustments (and went a little ‘food network’ with the chocolate drizzle). It was a great success!

Craft Swap IV: Worth a Thousand Words

Photograph Triptych by J Neuberger.

Since the big craft swaps tend to take a lot of time, I’m here to introduce a smaller craft swap. (I’m hoping that we can alternate between small and big swaps so we can fit more of them into a year.) This swap is fairly simple and easy to do – take 3 pictures!

XC Craft Swap IV

Theme: Photography
Rules: If you sign up – you’ll be assigned three people. You will take 3 photos and send them separately to those 3 people (1 photo per person). You can take the photos using whatever photographic process you’d like, send them in whatever medium you like (printed, digital – so on), at whatever size you want. The world is your photographic oyster. After you send out your 3 images, you will receive 3 images from 3 different people and with then you’ll create your own triptych. You can arrange them however you like, in whatever medium you like, and then post that final product on this wonderful blog.

If you’re interested please write your name below before July 31st. The swap begins on August 1st, when you’ll be given your swap recipients. Photos are due to your recipients by August 31st and your triptych should be posted on the blog by September 30th.

Happy Crafting!

Au Yeah Aubergine!

Hello! For my craft I received these lovely tablecloths/serviettes from Sabrina –

Emblazoned with two fine fruits – the tomato and the eggplant. Included were two recipes – one for stuffed eggplant and the other for eggplant pie – which I haven’t gotten around to making yet, but when I do, I imagine it will look something like this:

Thanks Sabrina!

For my craft Laura sent me handed painted mason jars for making ice cream, along with a super delicious lemon basil ice cream recipe. Here is a photo of the jars:

Limoncello Tartufo Recipe

This is the recipe for the Limoncello Tartufo that I made for Laura! Limoncello Tartufo is my favorite dessert that I used to get at Bertucci’s a long time ago. A tartufo is traditionally a vanilla ice cream ball with a filled center, usually a cherry or some nuts, rolled in chocolate shavings. A limoncello tartufo, at least from what I can remember, is a lemon ice cream ball with a lemon custard center rolled in meringue sprinkles. Bertucci’s stopped serving it and I can’t find it anywhere, so I decided to try to make it myself. I found a recipe to make a chocolate cherry tartufo online, but no limoncello – so, with my basic knowledge of a tartufo, I improvised.

I think it turned out pretty good.
