I make edibles, normally using flower purchased from a dispensary. I used the THC % and this calculator to determine how much butter to add.

A friend (who normally only smokes) has requested cookies using the flower he gets directly from a grower. The grower apparently doesn't know the THC content and my friend is very lackadaisical about it, and doesn't want to ask for more information. So I'm stuck making my best guess.

I noticed that this flower had very little smell compared to what I usually get. I wondered if that has anything to do with potency? Is there like an average amount of THC that can use to estimate how much butter to use? Any advice in this situation? TIA.

Acryllic on paper. Inspired by Jasper Fforde's novel Early Riser. Not My favorite of his books, though it wouldn't surprise me if it gets better on repeated readings. Unique world building is his strength.

I tried to do this in the style of Wassily Kandinsky, but I never learned the trick of painting thin lines and I was impatient to just be done with it.

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.

Recipe. Plating was so pretty, I had to share.

Inspired by David Brin's novel The Postman.

Solidly middle-of-the-road post-apocalyptic story. Better than the movie.

I picked this up at ART Burger Sushi Bar at Myrtle Beach. Linda Weatherspoon has tons of paintings available there at really reasonable prices. Also the food was reasonably priced and delicious and the service was great.

Acryllic and ink on paper.

Inspired by Fiona Davis' novel The Masterpiece.

The book follows two timelines:

• 1929 A woman teaches art at a time when women aren't respected, and Picasso is taking America by storm.

• 1975 Another woman is dealing with shame and trauma involving a divorce and surprise mastectomy. She finds comfort and inspiration in a painting that turns out to be by the first woman.

So obviously I did this in a Picasso style. After making the sketch, it felt like filling in a coloring book, which some people find meditative, but I just find tedious. I spent way too much time filling in a patterned background but it made the image too noisy, so I covered it with semi-transparent paint. I kind of like the result. I didn't want to outline in paint, so I cheated and used pen.

Acryllic on Canvas.

My brother's birthday gift, based on Bambi Thug's Eurovision performance of Doomsday Blue.

Made for the 52weeksofbaking Regional Favorites challenge.

Acryllic on paper. Inspired by Sonia Purnell's A Woman of No Importance. I normally only paint based on fiction, but after reading about Virginia Hall, real World War II spy, I wanted to do her portrait.

I tried to do it in the style of this video. I don't know if they thinned out their paint or just have transparent paint, but I immediately covered over my sketch with paint too dark and gave up following along. I still like the way it came out.
