Basic Animation (Adobe Photoshop)

"Oh, I See" (Adobe PhotoShop)

The background is made up of different brushes. The hands are actually a sketch I did of my own hand, and I then redrew the hand in Adobe Photoshop. The eyes were added later, and then 'blended in'. The mouth part is also Adobe Photoshop, but is drawn with the Pen Tool and shaded/highlighted with the Brush Mixer Tool.

This was designed by making use of the Paint Mixer Tool in Adobe Photoshop. This tool gives the same effect as real paint being mixed.

"Outer Space" (Adobe Photoshop)

This is made by making use of basic textures and knowledge of effects. Actually very easy to create.

"Play Time" (Adobe Illustrator)

This is an image I drew on my exam pad paper, which I then redid in Adobe Illustrator and I added some background & details.

"Nothing" (Adobe Photoshop)

"Hidden Demon" (Adobe Photoshop)

This image was created by making use of a textured background, the Burn Tool and the Dodge Tool in Adobe Photoshop. Simply adding highlights and shadows.

Stretchers, Gauges & Plugs

Stretchers, Gauges & Plugs

I have my 4mm stretchers, but I always want some new, prettier or original gauges. And I started making my own from polymer/Fimo clay, only to realise that a lot of shops selling stretchers don't have a wide variety (in colour, shapes and designs).

I've made these so far, and I'm selling (^_^)

PS: Fake gauges will be available too. I know of a lot of people who would rather have fake gauges, than stretching their earlobes for real.

The Spinach, Feta & Biltong Savory Muffins

 This is a delicious recipe, where I used fresh spinach, feta with black pepper corns and beef biltong (beef 'jerky').

The Spinach, Feta & Biltong Savory Muffins

The Spinach, Feta & Biltong Savory Muffins

What You Need:

• 2 Cups of freshly chopped spinach
• 200g Feta, crumbled
• 100g Finely chopped biltong
• 2 Cups self-raising flour
• 125g Melted butter
• 1 Cup milk
• 2 Eggs

How To Make The Muffins:

Firstly, preheat the oven to 180 Degrees Celsius.

Step 1:
Mix the eggs, butter, milk, feta, biltong and spinach into one large mixing container.

Step 2:
Add the flour to the mixture, and try to mix the ingredients as little as possible, as this will ensure that the muffins will come out moist.

Step 3:
Scoop dough into greased muffin pans, about 2/3 full and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
