Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Crowns and Blueberry Bran Muffins


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date 'Crowns' theme!  This is a grey crowned crane, and ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It is my take on 'Crowns' this week.

For the Dinner Date, I have some blueberry bran muffins to show you.  I made them with a bran muffin mix and just added 1 1/4 c of fresh blueberries to the mix.  It needed an extra 5 minutes of baking, so 400F for 25 minutes.

I have seen this crane and they are beautiful ... your picture captures it well. And, of course, even though I just ate breakfast, I am not thinking about muffins and especially blueberry muffins. Great post, Christine ....

Fabulous subject to illustrate for Rain's theme! I would've not thought of such a thing to draw. :) I like blueberry muffins but the bran might be a bit too overpowering for my tummy. Yeah, I know it's good for you but it just doesn't work properly for me. Have a doodletastic week, my dear!
