As I stated before it's always good to do a sample before starting a project. The top color is Shark Skin, it's a blue grey color and the bottom is the oxblood red. I screened the stencil with a pearl/silver ink.

If the scrub pad is white or silver after rubbing the tarpon's outer jaw, you've taken a good sample.
Fake food samples appear prevalently in the windows and display cases of food-serving establishments throughout Japan. Once made from wax, today they are usually made out of plastic. The plastic models are mostly handmade from vinyl chloride and carefully sculpted to look like the actual dishes. The models are custom-tailored to restaurants and even common items such as ramen will be modified to match each establishment's food. During the molding process, the fake ingredients are often chopped up and combined in a manner similar to actual cooking.
The craftsmanship has been raised to an art form and plastic food has been exhibited at places such as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Regular competitions are held in making fake food dishes out of plastic and other materials. The food displays are usually called sampuru, derived from the English word sample.
The plastic food manufacturers fiercely guard their trade secrets as business is lucrative; the plastic food industry in Japan, by conservative estimates, has revenues of billions of yen per year. A single restaurant may order a complete menu of plastic items costing over a million yen.
In recent years, Japanese plastic food manufacturers have been targeting markets overseas, such as China.
Plastic food manufacturers
While some large companies exist, others are small shops with a single proprietor. They can be found in Kappabashi-dori, the food supply street in Tokyo. Factories can be found in Gujō, Gifu.

I went shopping for colors today, again. To help me, I've made a sample page of all the acrylic colors I've got, so I could compare them with colors I wanted to buy, and avoid doubles.
I wasn't really expecting to find: a) that I have so many already; b) that I have a few doubles is there. 2 Ultramarine,2 Carmine (why in the hell?), 2 Hookers green, 3 bright yellows and enough Ochre and vermilion to paint poppy fields for the rest of my life.
and apperently, I don't have red of any kind. I'm a cmyk artist these days.
UPDATE: we have Cadmium red medium.
Look what I got in the mail Halloween!!! I was so happy! I had signed up for a free sample a couple of months ago and totally forgot about it. I never really expected it to arrive either, especially not so quickly! You can sign up for yourself here,

but I can’t guarantee anything. ;p
I think it’s so nice that they are giving away samples, I am definitely going to write a review once I try it out. I assume that since it is acrylic based, it should work fine on a monster high’s vinyl head. I love the color I got, I am planning on spraying my CAM Dragon and covering up that bright pink. Hopefully it will be enough to cover all of her, if not I am always willing to buy more. I have had a hard time finding where they are sold though, aside from Michaels.
If anyone else has had experience with using this paint on plastic, please tell me!
We had the opportunity to sample several fine chinese teas at the New Century Tea Gallery on Maynard in Seattle. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it both for tea enthusiasts, and for their friends or family who would like to understand what all the fuss is about.

Having sampled this one from Victoria Retail Park to Pennyfoot Street, I noticed I was on the one which doesn't have a rear advert, so grabbed a quick pic of the route info and contact details.

On December 8, 1883, Dan Dowd, C.W. Sample, Don Kelley, William DeLaney and Tex Howard held up the General Store in Bisbee, Arizona, near the Mexican border. While two of the five robbed the store, the other three shot up the street outside, killing several people. It was discovered that John Heath, a Bisbee saloon owner had mastermined the robbery. Eventually all six men were arrested and wound up in the Tombstone jail. The five robbers were sentenced to hang. However, Heath, who demanded a seperate trial, was given life in the Yuma pen. At this sentence the whole county became enraged.
Early on February 22, 1884, 50 armed men rode up to the Tombstone jail and took the prisoner from Sheriff Ward. Half an hour later the lynch mob departed, leaving Heath dangling from a telegraph pole on 2nd Steet. The other 5 were left in jail to allow the law to take its course. They were hanged on the gallows behind the courthouse, March 8, 1884, and buried at Boothill Graveyard where they share one common epitaph: "Legally Hanged."
Biologists measure forage available to wintering bison and elk beginning in December. The assessments are taken at a number of sample sites and calculated into pounds per acre. Forage availability is a key factor in the Refuge's winter management program.

Here are the four yarns spun from yesterday's fiber combinations. The left hand is a 3-ply, the other three are 2-ply.
I prefer the 2-plys since the 3-ply has too much colour blending for what I want. I think the second from the right (Pate de Fruit/Cosmopolitan) is the winner.
I'll still be knitting swatches to see what they look like worked up.

I've posted way more images than I usually do on one day. This is because I went shooting with a friend and we shots lots of the same shots and I wanted him to see the variety of choices that I made in cropping and processing. Light conditions were poor, so many of these are shot at ISO 1600, with DxO's PRIME noise reduction applied during Raw conversion.
This shot is Manual mode, but I exposed almost 2-stops over to get good detail on the owlet.
