a big Easter wave to everyone
as I enjoy a first outing for my new red shoes now that we have spring weather and I might finally pack away my winter boots until autumn (my skin is not ‘luminous Scottish white’ from the lack of sun – I’m wearing white socks!).
This weekend also saw the start of the Edinburgh Science Festival with a science themed food market where I
* took part in a taste test between wild and cultivated cabbage – the wild tastes stronger
* ate primordial soup – containing all 9 amino acids (although I realised I eat 5 every lunch because I have peanut butter)
* ate a mealworm falafel (it tasted nutty)
* tried 3 textures of beetroot being demonstrated by a molecular chef (foam, caviar and jelly)
* learnt that too little sugar in cake hinders rising and too much tends to give a lava like top
Today I embarked on the 100 day project – the idea is to do the same creative thing every day for 100 days and to share the results on instagram. I decided to play with pixel magic each day, starting from a photo – I haven’t been doing this recently and I used to really enjoy both the process and results.
This is also my first foray into the world of instagram – I’m using the tag #100daysofpixelmagic if you want to follow – here is my first piece created this morning
why not join in – it started today but late starters are welcome.

100 days? That sounds like a great project. Best of luck with it.
I love your red shoes. A very cheerful start to the week. Hope it's a good one!
So why are your grape hyacinths so much better than mine? They are beautiful although mine are improving. Interesting food facts. I like your pixelmagic photo too.
Ooo, red shoes ... I like them very much.
Now you know what I'm like with new challenges, you shouldn't tempt me. But much as I like the sound of this one the sensible part of my brain is saying 'no' - it's concerts and exams from now until school finishes for the summer so I simply don't have the time. Good luck with it though and I'll check in at Instagram to see how you are getting on.
Great pixel picture - very atmospheric ... and your red shoes are very cheering. hoping they set the tone for the week ahead!
That pixel magic photo is stunning! I'd need a tutorial, but I'll be looking for yours.
Waving back to you and your lovely red shoes!
Love the sound of your 100 days project. I'll look for you on Instagram (I'm @prairiejill ... and I'm an Instagram addict! I love it.)
Love the shoes....and your comment about the White sin made me laugh! Xx
Waving on Wednesday and have red shoe envy now! I just ordered some turquoisey (!) ones. A 100 day challenge sounds fun. I will look for you & the challenge. I am ikebana_banana on IG
