Holly Berries
Black Mondo Grass Berries
Purple Heather
Beautiful Moss
The Fruit of our Labor
To the Press (a garlic press)
The moss was very disappointing. Even after sitting for several days, it did not create a useable color.
The holly berries were wonderful and horrid. I had at first been hoping to create a beautiful red... but as the old saying goes, "it's what's on the inside that counts." The inside of the holly berry is a tarnished yellow. With the failure of the moss, this resulted in a wonderful alternative for the vines. The small drawback... it smelled horrid.
These are the modo grass berries. This is by far my favorite of the colors that were created: an ashen-eggplant.
Here are several of the pigments steeping in their containers.
