It's been a while but today I thought I would work with some of my natural inks and how easy it is to make something interestingly wonderful with them. I'm really just coloring in a very vague quick sense and here I'm putting down lemon-centred gum with 2.5% of ferrous sulfate with it. I'm actually looking to make a piece of fabric that I can tear up and that looks interesting so we do need some different tones and so forth. So I'm really there's no plan. There's really just having fun and this is Borgonvillea plus Urea, Fig and Vinigar. I'm really after I actually don't mind what color they come out like because I'm going to tear it into strips later and then do something else with it but I thought I'd take the opportunity just to show you. So this is one of my little traveling little traveling containers that I've made up so I could take it with me from my big collection that I have. I'm being fairly rough. You can use them like watercolors but this is just you can overlap them and they give really interesting tones. So this was in water this particular one and so was the other one. But overlapping gives really interesting and lovely just like watercolour does really. I mean basically that's how I treat them. So I have a large piece there and a small piece here I'm doing the same thing too. You may not be able to see this small piece but it's okay. And my large piece is doubled. So don't know if it'll go through to the bottom I'm hoping it will and save me a bit of effort. Now going to add some red chameleon petals that have been in methylated spirits. Again just we should get some differing tide marks as the water and the methyl inks come together. But we won't know really until it's dried and they've had time to merge and settle. And you can see they're the same sort of colour but they're more than likely will dry differently. And you can see there where the fig and the chamelea have combined together where I've overlapped them. Now we're looking interesting and here where it's overlapped with the ferrous lemon scented gum and the ferrous sulfate mixture it's gone much darker. Whereas that really hasn't happened over here with our fig mixture. I mean I just find it really interestingly delightful. I think I'm going to have to do another lot of colour charts where I've combined different inks together because the combinations of one over the other just is magnificent and so annoying. I don't know what happens from one thing to the next. Hey, I don't mind. So as you can see I'm just adding painting. Just really in an abstract fashion. I might use this as a background or half of it as a background depending on how I like it. But don't be too precious about it. Okay, I'll finish off here and come back and show you when it's more finished. Okay. In methylated spirits. Sweet pea petals in methylated spirits. I call this a butterfly nut tree so I don't know what it's called with urea and ferrous sulfate. Pink pelagonia petals in methylated spirits and a red water seed pods which I boiled up. So let me just take those away. And as you can see I'll actually take a photo of this so you can also see it better as well. But I love the sense of movement in there and how things have actually started to gel together and work together to get this movement, this violent movement in a way and as things have melded together and created a new color, new tidelines. It's actually really exciting. So I'll take a photo and show you and when it's dry I'll also take another photo so you can see the difference. But I may leave this as it is or I may recolor it once it's dry and obviously what it looks like but I love it now. Okay thanks for being with me and I hope you have fun doing having fun with your stuff. Okay.
