So, I'm catching up on several month's worth of ignoring this blog, which means several past projects that I need to put up here.
One of the more interesting was working with Abstract Method Markting to throw Fasion's Living Canvas, and art and fashion event in Dallas. Notably, Jarrod from AM2 came up the concept of "a model's transformation into a work of art" and so we shot a teaser for the event highlighting said concept with the help of Dallas artist /model Toni Martin.

So the mead stash has running low lately, and given that summer is coming on, I determined that it was the right time to do something about that today (although yes, there are beetter things I could have been doing with my day...)
However, going through my usual method of going to the local super-grocer where I usually buy my bulk honey, I discovered to my annoyance that they had stopped stocking the 3 lb jars of honey I usually use. Not to be too deterred, I made sure I had at least a respectable stock by snagging a family of honeybears...
I found myself at the grocery today, which sometimes leads to the impulse buying of several pounds of honey, as was the case today. I kept it conservative today and just picked up 3 lbs, as I've had the rest of the pictured ingredients sitting around for months, with the intention of doing a small experiment batch of braggot.
A braggot, for those who don't know, is a mead made with added grain malt (like a beer wort) and sometimes, as in this case, with hops as well. I made a very small batch experiment (1 gal) once before, but that was simply adding some extra dark malt extract I had to a bit of my standard mead wort, and though it added a little complexity, it really didn't satisfy my curiosity about the potential of a braggot.
