Woman Can Not Live on Painting Alone

Here are some other things I was up to today, besides painting.  I made dehydrated flax crackers, yum. 
This is my pot of elixir.  When I paint I listen to alot of music, pod cast and youtube videos.  I came across Daniel Vitalis, showing how he makes these herbal decoctions that you can then use in your smoothies ( I use them as soup stock too).  This one is make with lots of fresh ginger, nettles, oat straw, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, cacao butter and goi berries.  You blender it all up and strain it and then use it.  This one taste like chai tea.  Daniel calls this 'elixir craft'......I never use to pay any attention, because I thought he was selling or promoting  a blender.  See what my ignorance lead me to miss out on for so long.
Thing are so mild here right now in Victoria, I decided to take a walk and check my ocean side nettle patch.  I was not disappointed, lush little nettles are up.  Here is my nettle, lemon, celery and cucumber juice I had this morning.  
And here is me and Veda getting the nettles.
