Merry Potato Christmas

I made some wrapping paper yesterday using potatoes and the two paint colours that I happened to have at home: it was way too hot to go near that furnace of a studio.  I think the last time I made a potato print I was ten.  I have grand plans to do something fancier next time.

Merry merry Christmas everyone!  May you have a day full of warmth and love, wherever you are.

Way more sophisticated than mine. I just dipped my finger in pink paint and dotted brown parcel paper.
I found a very impressive cheap gouache here in France so may get the potatoes out soon.
Look forward to seeing more of your blog, Happy Christmas

Thanks so much Sandra, Anonymous, Jane and Emma.

There is something very satisfying about making a pattern with the tools that you have at your disposal!

I hope you all had a very happy day.
