We tried making our own macarons. Well, mostly Henrik. I just ground the almonds, piped out the batter and filled them. Most are filled with raspberry and blueberry jam, some are filled with lemon curd and some with white chocolate.
They’re not perfect but next time they’ll probably be even better!
Here is the recipe we used.

Macarons and tea we bought at Ladurée. I really liked the red fruit, raspberry and chocolate macarons but wasn’t all that fond of the other ones I tried. The Marie Antoinette tea is great. You can comment at my blog or here.

I just got back from a short trip to Paris. I went mainly to se an exhibition at Versailles, which I posted about over at my 18th century blog. I did have time for some other stuff as well, like visiting a Barbie exhibition at a doll museum, and doing a bit of shopping. Click the photo above to see some pictures from my trip.

I’m really proud of the fact that I drew that tiger completely without reference (except for the stripes). I usually have to look at reference pictures to draw most animals except horses and cats. You can comment at my blog or here.

I never really understood the point with it, but a while ago I found Dita von Teese’s Twitter, which I actually found worth following since she seems to live such a dream life. Anyway, since I got an account to follow her I thought I might as well try it out myself. You can find me here.

This painting will be the cover for a graphic novel that I’ve been commissioned to make. The graphic novel will be released in parts and each part will be accompanied by a perfume (the story is about perfume as well). It probably won’t be finished in months but I’ll get back with more info when I have it.
