Produce Printing: Corn

This was so much fun. All you need is paint, a sponge brush, paper and of course, CORN! I found that putting the paint on only half of the corn cob worked best because it left a place for your fingers to press down as you rolled it without messing up the paint. But if I had those cute little corn cob holders, I could have done the whole thing and rolled it easier. I'll be sure to post what the final pattern designs when done. I think this texture would make a really great wallpaper pattern too. I will be trying other produce items soon.

Pretty Pickling

I find canning and pickling so beautiful. From the process to the final outcome. The colors are amazing and the history of it makes me feel happy. It's all part of the "hunter/gatherer" instinct I think. Enjoy.
