Fruit i inked today!!!!

Well tried to!

Welcome fruit fans, tis another fine Thursday and time once again for "Fruit in inked today"!

This week started off with excitement at the prospect of inking this fruit, however turned into something very different. The fruit i chose this week is one of my faves to eat, but will go down in inking history as one of the worst to inkSo without further ado....i give you......the STRAWBERRY!!!

.

This was an absoloute nightmare to ink! No other word for it....total NIGHTMARE! In fact, i'm going to throw this a fruitinkability rating of 1 whilst i have the generosity in me.

.

I had this great plan to ink each seperate segment and produce something magnificent, however it was not to be. The texture of the fruit just made the ink race off in all directions at will. This quickly produced a mess that was hard to rescue. Silver mixitive was definately the

nicer colour to use on this, it ended up being a base for other colours to play on top of.

.

.

The ink pooled in every segment and quickly turned the fruit squidgy, not a good thing.

Unimpressed with my efforts, i resigned myself to just have a play with some strawberries and ink.....

.

I tried tiger stripes......but it had all the effect of.....well....something not very tigery!....

.

.

More mixative and wild plum...got in a real mess with this one....

.

.
I even tried people.......this little fella was not even scared next to my tiger......

.

.

So what can i say to sum up the strawberry? Most certainly a fruit to keep for cream and sugar, ink just has no part in this fruits life!

.

I have to say, i am seriously getting to the point where i may have to move on to inking veg. A sad day that will be i know, but whilst there is many fruits still left to ink, not all are suitable and some are just impossible to get around here. I still have one up my sleeve that i want to try next week, and if i am successfull, it will be lovely.

.

Thanks for tuning in again everyone, i do appreciate it, especialy when you return every week knowing that i've probably just got in a mess again! :) Before you ask.....yes i forgot to wear gloves again so i have pink hands now for the rest of the week!

.

Till next week.......stay fruity!!! :)
