Saw this last night, and it was fantastic. Over the top combination of seriousness and humor, great practical effects, puppetry, and costumes.

I enjoyed participating in inktober, and seeing what everyone else made. I want to keep using prompts, but in a broader way than ink52.

We'll begin the first week of January. For now, if you visit the community, I'm soliciting ideas for prompts. That can include a subject, but it can also be a technique, medium, color, or any other kind of inspiration. All types of visual art are welcome. Hope to see you there.

Ink on paper.

Inspired by Kevin Wilson's novel, Now Is Not the Time to Panic. About two teens in the 90s who are into art and poetry, that create a poster with a cryptic phrase on it. They post copies of it around town anonymously as an artistic statement, and it becomes viral, but some people see it as a menacing statement by Satan worshippers and things get out of hand. In lieu of posting around town, I posted it on my wall. And I am not an edgy teen, so I forewent the splash of my own blood on the poster.

I'm getting very behind on these thanks to Inktober. I've got another 3 books to do.

Hi bakers! This week, we celebrate the Celtic festival of Samhain by asking you to make something Samhain themed or traditional to the regions in which the holiday is celebrated.

Samhain is officially on November 1st , but celebrations actually begin the evening of October 31st. It denotes the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Bonfires are lit on that night, and some believe that on that night the boundary between the living and the Otherworld is thinnest at that time. Souls of family members that have passed are believed to revisit their homes and family members may even set places for them at the table. People may dress in costume and go door to door to recite verses in exchange for food (sound familiar?). It's thought that people may have dressed up to disguise themselves from spirits.

As always, here are some example recipes that fit the theme. Happy baking, and happy Samhain!

Soul Cakes

Barmbrack

Irish Soda Bread

Recipe. Recipe was a little confusing, but it came out delicious and beautiful.

Intro Hi bakers! This week's challenge is to make something using a gelling agent - that is, a substance that can turn a liquid into a semi-solid or a solid.

There are many options to choose from. There's gelatin, of course! There's also things like agar, pectin, guar gum, and more.

As always, here are some example recipes that fit the theme. Happy baking!

Spanish Flan

Vegan Lemon Tart

Mirror Glazed Cake

Hello bakers! It's week 42, and this week's challenge is to make something using an enriched dough. An enriched dough is a bread dough (aka a lean dough - made with flour, water, yeast, and salt) which has been enriched with things like sugar, milk, and eggs. Enriched doughs cover a pretty wide breadth of treats both sweet and savory.

As always, here are some example recipes that fit the theme:

No-Knead Challah

Cheese, Spring Onion, and Chive Brioche Buns

Cinnamon Rolls

Happy baking!
