Finally got around to use the okra I bought a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t really in the mood of making anything, but the okras were going slimy on the outside :S They were going to be wasted if I don’t use them, so I forced myself to dig out the paint.
And it turned out to be quite an invigorating experience! (Making things always makes me feel better, it’s just a matter of getting started…) The patterns that the okras made were simply delightful…Â
They remind me of jellyfish :D
My first sheet of prints was a bit blotchy. The second sheet was a bit more consistent.
Then there were the more angular prints of a different okra, compared with the more rounded ones.
I’m going to make something with these later… will keep you posted!
Have a happy Wednesday! :D
The second sheet reminds me a bit of pansies. Very pretty and delicate.
ooh, yes, they do remind me of poppies or pansies too! :D
wow, it is truly beautiful! You are inspiring me to cut up all produces and print with them!
i want to try printing cross section of a bunch of celery or lettuce :D
