The Art of the Purple Carrot depends on moisture, heat, and pressure applied to thin strips of purple carrot onto watercolor paper. The result displays a range of purple hues that are bold and surprisingly alive with their own composition. I use them for wall decor as well as stationary. Here’s a video showing the process this morning. My ode to Mother Nature.
And, a deep bow from the waist on the simple pleasures of the process of creativity. A whole day has gone by and now? I’m going to spend the rest of my waking hours with Elena Ferrante’s new book, “The Lying Life of Adults“.
Ode to Joy.
I made my purple carrot watercolor paper into a large weekender bag.
