69. Pilz-Variable

On Tuesday I had a quite, well, "not so interesting" seminar. I wouldn't say useless, because this time I actually took something out of it:

Well, that's an insider. I just thought about explaining it, but that would take too long, I think...

68. Rahmkuchen

I don't know what to do with our internet. At the moment it seems impossible to use it in the mornings and evenings. It keeps crashing down every few minutes to seconds... So, finally, I decided to post the past days' flowers now, in the afternoon ;)

This one I made on Sunday, after a really great evening with some of my friends. We had coq au vin resp. "Gemüse" au vin (for the vegetarian among us) and, as dessert, "Rahmfladen", which are round, flat cakes from yeast dough with cream on top. Because there was so much cream left over, I made another yeast dough and, after the others had left, I made a cream cake with a flower out of cinnamon-sugar:

67. Rubber band

After a long and joyful and murderous day (I was hosting a crime-dinner this night) I made a rather simple and quick flower out of a rubber band.
And now I will fall to bed, heading a much too short night before another long and joyful (and hopefully not murderous) day.

66. Punk duck

Some weeks ago, while I was at the post office, I found out that they were selling saving boxes which you can paint on your own, with some special felt-tips. Instantaneously I thought "Oh, I have to do that! A saving cow with flowers..." But I didn't like the idea of painting it with felt-tips because I didn't think it would look so nice. So, after some see-saw, I decided not to buy the set.

I didn't think a lot about this until today, when I saw this white ceramic saving duck while I was strolling through a shop (one of those which have simply everything).

This way I got to use again my old ceramic colours (with which my mother and I once in my childhood painted some dishes). Wow, now that I think about that... They must be like 10 to 15 years old...

The outcome is a very colourful saving duck. I will put it into the oven tomorrow for burning the colours into the ceramic.

65. How to make a hot chocolate

First you take a cup of hot milk (or, in my case, oatmilk). Then you make a flower out of some pieces of dark chocolate (the darker, the bitter... eh, better) and two teaspoons of sugar.

Next, you add the flower to the milk and stir...
And voilà:

64. Another day in theatre

On Wednesday we were at the national theatre in Weimar again , this time for the play "Die Dreigroschenoper" by Bert Brecht, with music composed by Kurt Weill. I liked it very much, the actors and the stage director really did a great job by bringing the play to stage.

When I had arrived at home I tried making a flower by cutting my ticket into, well, the shape of a flower... ;) Then I burned the edges (Note: Never do that again in a closed room, especially not with entrance tickets, they smell like hell...) and hoped that the outcome would still look like a flower. It did not. But after adding some details I was ok with it ;)

63. Light and shadow

After my internet crashing down yesterday evening every few minutes, here finally comes the flowers of the past three days =)

This one I made on Tuesday, after coming home from my Jazzdance course and some lovely hours at the Mexican with my flatmate, drinking Margaritas and eating Quesadillas with this incredibly delicious beans'-purée.

As I was quite tired, I wanted to do a quick flower without much preparation. Well, the preparations didn't need much time (just cutting out the contours of a flower from white paper). But it took some time until I had this foto, as it wasn't that easy to get one with the right focus and which wasn't wiggly.

One quite cool effect I didn't expect was the fact that every contour appeared 5 times. This was due to the light I used, a headlamp with 5 LEDs.

I think I will do that again soon. I especially like the look of those objects, overlayed by that flower. I have to find out how that can be made with other pictures and people instead of objects...
