I see you. Can you see her too? A perfect camouflage.
My first time trying to make pink safflower ink. I grew the safflower from seed, got 7 plants and had just enough flower for 10oz of ink. It didn't quite turn out pink but it's really really beautiful. #safflower #inkmaking #growmyownflowers #naturalcolor #naturalink
Matting and framing some of my inks today. Definitely not one of my favorite things to do but the results are well worth it. #artistsoninstagram #inkart #naturalink #colorfromnature
