festive spiced apple pie

I made this with all the apples we had frozen from the summer plus a couple bought ones for the top. 

1.  first i made an apple souse by coring and peeling the apples and then blending them with some sugar. nothing was measurements properly so it was ruffle 3 tea spoons of caster sugar.  

2. then i greased the pie dish with some butter.       

3.  then I rolled out the pastry to about as thin as a 50 pence, and put it in the pie dish.

4. layer the apple souse in the base and cut up some thin apple pieces to go on the top.

5. cover the chopped apples with a very small amount of caster sugar and arrange them in a pattern on the top of the tray.

6. if you want you can cun a shape for extra decoration out of the pastry left over (I used a star shape).

7. bake in the over at a medium temperature for around 30 mins to 1 hour.

have fun

yum....

in a land of green!

...this was one of the first large paintings i ever did ...

Explosions of colour

I never know what I am going to paint at the start. So some times I end up going a little mad and things some how come together at the end.

This is one of those times. It started of as another painting but I did not like it very much and so I was trying to paint a smooth white lair over the top but I kept on smudging it so I gave up and did something a little different!

beginnings of a bubble

Some people do sport, others do fashion, I do ART! I have always looked at artists in admiration, thinking how amazing it would be if, I was discovered to have some previously unknown talent!...      This is my fantasy, I wish it could happen but the truth is unless you are a child porridge (and I sadly am not) than this is very unlikely to happen.
So instead i am starting this blog. I hope you like it xxx Eleanor
