So, I found some berries...

And, I really didn't know why I picked these berries. But, anyway, along with those and the little cedar fronds . . . and the white rocks . . . and the bird feathers . . . they told me to make art. So, what did I do?

I started with the berries.

And, I made ink!

Crushing the berries, I found out that they were actually purple on the inside. Just goes to show that you can't judge a berry by its cover. And, as the steaming water dropped on top of the pieces, the liquid turned purple.

So, I took out some paper and began to experiment with the other objects.

Placing the rocks and fronds and feathers all around, splash some ink on it, and voila! You got somethin' interesting.

I wanted to get the "impressions" of the individual pieces, so after sloshing ink everywhere, the items had to skip off the page.

And, I found something beautiful.

What an impression :)

So, after all that, a little ink was still sitting in the bottom of the cup. So . . . I doodled . . .

With a feather. . . .

The Chinese symbols for "See" and "Think" respectively, fading off the page.

So, that's what I did with those little berries I found.
