Happy Groundhog Day
| January 26, 2012 | Posted by laura under Illustration and Art |
I’ve got a lot of ASCII art, from other ASCII artists, collected. I created a new site to showcase my own but I would like to put all the other art up too. So far it’s still looking wonky when I post it here. I’m using the same plugin that worked on the other site so I don’t know what the problem is here. Meanwhile, here is a groundhog I made for Groundhog Day.

A Different Kind of Beauty
| January 20, 2012 | Posted by thatgrrl under Creative Fat Grrl |
Found online tonight:
“There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn’t thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on”

Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
| January 5, 2012 | Posted by thatgrrl under Creative Arts and Crafts |
This one turned out nice. I think less baking powder would be a good idea, just a touch less cause it was nice to have fluffy pancakes, but I did taste the baking powder in the batter. Also, I melted the butter in the pan and then poured it into the batter for the recipe. But, it gave me a perfectly greased pan to cook them in without having to add any other oil to the pan.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- cooking spray
Directions
- Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to “sour”.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into “soured” milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
Canadian Problems

Found on Twitter… Canadian Problems
We may have a hard time finding a national identity other than great scenery and a maple leaf flag… we we can come up with our own set of problems, right? Or, maybe not.

Eyebombing
| January 1, 2012 | Posted by thatgrrl under Creative Arts and Crafts |
Eyebombing. Humanizing the world, on googly eye at a time.
Eyebombing is the act of setting googly eyes on inanimate things in the public space.
Ultimately the goal is to humanize the streets, and bring sunshine to people passing by.
THE RULES:
1. Only images of inanimate objects with wiggle eyes – NOT stickers.
2. Only images taken in the public space.
