Day 24 - Another five-minute sketch: Jam

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is another fast one because this is all the time I had today to do anything. It's the homemade grapefruit marmalade and plum jam I got today from a colleague at work: yum! Yes, it's wonky, but it was fast.

Jam!



My NaArMaMo 2007 Gallery is here.

Well yes ... it was fast but very professional. I hate people who are so artistic!

I wish I was professional!

I tell you though: drawing and painting with a graphics tablet is so easy and fast, and so clean.

mmmm, grapefruit marmalade

I was all out of it and now I have two lovely jars of it, plus the plum and a mixed berry. Plum and marmalade are the two jams I like most because they have such strong, tart flavours.

I vaguely remember Joey saying something about being dropped off at the cinema with a jar of jam and a spoon. *eyes up the damson and plum* Yum!

But the sugar rush!

Joey? Not Joey from Friends surely, because he'd eat 'jelly'.

Damn these translator microbes...

So it was Joey! Yeah, I can see that.

Nice colours.

Damn. Now I want grapefruit marmalade.

You can't get it?

When I lived in Germany, where 'Marmalade' just means 'jam', I used to bring back orange and grapefruit marmalade from business trips to England for those German colleagues who'd acquired a taste for it.

I love damson jam too!
hope they taste as good as they look.

Me too! I haven't opened them yet because I had sardines on toast this morning. Soon though, soooooon!

Lovely colors! Definitely look good enough to eat.

And I will!
