Potatoes?!! Yow! I have done a number of different kinds of

printing, my favorites are woodblock and

the Indonesian wax method (forgot the name

right now-oops). Thank you!

The children who are fortunate enough to have you for a teacher will remember your classes for the rest of their lives. Each of us begin writing the songs of our lives the minute we're born. The children who will remember you for decades to come are the chorus to your song, My sister, and the lyrics of your song will sing through the lives of their children's children. What a sweet legacy!

flour gravy will be a wonderful idea for a home project, for kids to play around and get to know that art is everywhere. If I do school project, or print tshirt, I will buy best fabric printing ink or paint. The deeper we think, we closer we are to truth.

haha, well i was just thinking it would be easier for printing. When I did printmaking in school we used a VERY thick colored paste and we actually rolled it onto the stamp instead of painting it on (though I suppose it would work just fine either way). And the prints came out really thick and great. But I wonder now if the flour would go bad after a while, flour can start growing mold pretty quickly when it's wet. So maybe that's not such a good idea. 8 \

You got all my secrete right. Yes. I was thinking of fruit. That blue was food coloring, but pretty dried.

However, I did not think about the food color gravy, yay!

try star fruit!!! ^_____^

and also apples make interesting patterns because of the core. But, just so you don't have to waste the fruit, just use regular food coloring, and then you can wash it off and a little bit left over will be just fine (is that what you already use? I thought so at first, but that blue dye didn't look watery enough to be food coloring. I suppose you could add a tiny bit of flour to thicken it into a pasty dye. It would brush on easier that way.)

Oh, what a big brother. Actually I was planning to do potato, but my husband cooked them all into mashed potatoes! A reason to go to farmers market again, tomorrow! Happy Sunday, my dear friend.
