My Nana had family pictures on the side of her fridge that I loved to look at growing up over the years. She still adds updated family pictures to this day, so when we visit I take a few minutes to look at all of them and cherish the memories. I wanted to carry on this idea, but add a special touch with this fun fridge gallery wall trend I’ve see around. After I finished setting up the pictures, I almost shed some tears because I realized just how special it is to have your loved one’s faces in the heart of the kitchen. Now when I cook everyday, I can look over and see them all 🥲 If you want to try this DIY project, here’s what I did: 1. Thrift some frames 2. Get magnet strips + hot glue (I thought sticky magnet strips would work, but it didn’t hold well so you need hot glue) 3. Glue the magnetic strips to the back of the frames 4. Arrange the frames to the side or front of your fridge. The side of mine is blank, so it was a perfect spot to spruce up with the frames. If yours is covered, the front would be just as cute!

I got an email from a bride asking if I’d paint several loaves of sourdough for her wedding. She wanted to have a table arrayed with painted sourdough loaves… my heart kind of skipped a beat thinking about the opportunity, but I quickly remembered how this is purely a hobby of mine and not a source of income. As an artist, I paint and draw flowers with the intent of selling somehow; however, when I paint on sourdough it’s purely for my enjoyment and relaxation believe it or not 😅 I don’t have to worry about a customer’s satisfaction over the product, just my own. While I hate breaking the news to people when they email or DM asking to buy one, I stay confident in my answer because I know this is purely a hobby that I enjoy. #sourdough #baking #kitchen #inthekitchen #artist #florals #flowerpainting #housewife #smallbusinessowner #hobby #bread #paintedsourdough #foodart

HOW TO PAINT ON BREAD. First off, yes this is 100% edible food colorings — ya know, the ones you use to color icing for cakes and stuff? 🤗They are just the gel style to remain thick like acrylic paint. Here is a list of supplies I use (everything is linked in my amazon storefront in my bio) and some directions: SUPPLIES For the food paint: - Liquid Food Whitener (from @chefmaster ) - Food Coloring Gels (I prefer @wiltoncakes , but have used others) - Palette to mix on (I found this ceramic palette from amazon that I love) - Water - Paint brush (I prefer round tip) - Something to scoop out the gels (I used the end of a small spoon) For the sourdough: - Scoring Blade - Flour to dust on the bottom of the loaf - I have learned that I do not like dusting flour on top of the loaf, as it makes it hard for the paint to adhere on the bread DIRECTIONS: - Add small amounts of your desired colors onto your palette - Add the liquid food whitener to all of the colors, as this truly is the key to making the food coloring brighter and actually show up well when baked on the bread. - Add the tiniest amount of water by dipping your brush into the water and mixing it with the colors. - You want the consistency to stay as thick as possible, but smooth enough to glide across the bread easily. TIPS: - When I take off the lid during baking at the 20 minute mark, I will sometimes touch up the design if it warps a little bit or looks too faded. This will allow me to fix some of the design, but allow it to bake and dry all the way. - Try to avoid adding the food paint on too thick. This will allow it to dry fully during the baking process. - Colors do change quite a bit when baked. For example, warm red/pink tones usually bake and come out more on the purple spectrum! Oranges have been the hardest to stay orange, usually they turn pink. #sourdough #sourdoughclub #paintedsourdough #tutorial #sourdoughstarter #homemaker #sourdoughart #baker #artist #tutorial #howto #paintedbread #foodart #floralart
