Every Day in May 2015 #4 Bottles of Herbs and spices; & #9 Interesting labels
Continuing my challenge from Ink Explorations class: draw with a brush, and add ink wash shadowing. Yikes. Ink is not as easy as watercolor -- and I thought that was hard! Brushing is going better -- sometimes -- now that I've found my Isabey sable brushes. (I'd loaned them to a friend -- and forgot I hadn't gotten them back.) Color added with watercolor and color lifted from the Neocolor II's my son sent me for Mother's Day! (Best gift ever!) Two bottles of herbs and spices from Belize -- still good after 4-plus years -- (with a fun label that says they were bottled in Belize) and one from a potted oregano I sadly killed last year. That bottle's label is original to the container, which once held breast milk donated for sick babies. The middle bottle, from the fresh market in Punta Gorda, Belize, was recycled and came minus its label. I don't know what Yellow Ginger is, but it smells and tastes a lot like tumeric, and is a very common seasoning in Mayan households there.
