Experiments - Making colour

Who knew that if you boil up carrots then forget and leave the water on the side overnight it goes blue/green in colour? My son decided I was a witch when I boiled up the residue to concentrate it and make ink/paint.

It has a slight sheen about it and a blue/green tinge in real life.

 It could be applied with a dip pen or a brush. To test it I did a sketch of our Christmas tree and then a squiggle. In keeping with the experimental nature of the project to I added baubles from a tester pot of wall paint which has a sponge applicator (I have no idea how I ended up with such a bright colour) and a sprinkle of glitter.

Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
