Afsoon’s Posties

Where has the time flown?! It’s already been one year that I’ve been functioning on Afsoon’s Posties since moving over from Happiness is Vegan Muffins and Chocolate Soy Milk(worked on that one for two years). I feel old. Do you see them wrinklies on my face? What shall I do to celebrate? Cake I say! Cake! Rachel, being the sweetheart that she is, gave me 4 mini cake pans, one of which is a springform (how cute is that?). I decided to bake a Mini Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Mint Sandwich Cake.

Many art pieces have been flowing out of my mind and on to canvas and watercolor paper. I have a few new pieces that I’m working on at the same time.

I’ve been enjoying the time off, but not the heat in LA. It’s been incredibly hot, which has made me sluggish and behind on the chocolate testings. Booooo. I’m hoping it can cool down soon so I can catch up with all the time I lost. Chocolates filled with soynog, pumpkin cranberry, and peppermint mousse for the holidays will be in the works…have any requests? Contact me!

I finally got inked! I went with my good friend, Rachel, who helped me go through the turmoil of waiting on the bench while my tattoo was being sketched out. I got part of an illustration by (one of my favorite artists) James Jean titled HAAZ on my upper arm, shoulder and part of my back. We went to Yoni Tattooin Tarzana (they use vegan ink and have amazing artists that work there), Reid worked on mine (his line work is incredible and accurate). A thank you to Rachel for taking the pictures while I was getting ink pushed into me.

Fall session starts in three weeks! I signed up for a baking class and also a jewelry making class (and of course, life drawing lab and business). I’m so psyched for the baking class, I just hope the instructor isn’t a bitch about me being a vegan. I’ll show him vegans can bake!

In the mean time I’ll be “relaxing” on my last weeks before classes start up again. Can’t wait until the fall season rolls around…Halloween!!!
