Good evening my lovely bunch of veggie voyeurs!!! :)
Tonight is a special occasion for "Veg i inked today!", in that i bring you this episode LIVE from Maddy's house!!! Why is that so special i hear you shout? Well we all remember the last time i inked something whilst i was staying at Maddy's......yes that's right, i almost poisoned myself to death on a prickly pear! Oh the pain, oh the hairy spines in my skin, oh the swelling......oh the howls of laughter from a sympathetic Maddy whilst i was close to calling an ambulance!!!
Anyway, all is well this week, because i have inked something and it didn't injure me!!!
So enough of the waffle, feast your beady little eyes over my......TURNIP!!!
.
Only small mind you, i always thought turnips were bigger than this, but this one was only about three inches across. Anyway, enough about the vital statistics of vegetables, I'm weird but I'm
I can't fault this little gem for standing still whilst i inked it, some fruit and veg wriggle about all over the place, but this one stood proud and didn't make a murmur!
I used silver mixative with the turnip, made a nice change from gold. The blues didn't come out quite as nice as I'd hoped, but was did make this something special was the gorgeous pinky purples it produced!
Just check these out!
I have to hold my hands up to having to take these pics before the ink dried too much, turnips make the ink go really dull after a very short while, so you have to take it while you can! (Don't say i don't teach you anything!)
Veginkability rating for the turnip? I'm going to give this one a modest 5!!! It was nice to ink, but nothing special. It wasn't an onion put it that way!
Well my good friends of blog land, keep well, keep smiling and I'll see you all next week for another episode of...."Veg i inked today!"
Anyway, all is well this week, because i have inked something and it didn't injure me!!!
What a lovely round little beauty this was! :)
not that bad yet!
Just check these out!
Like i said though, i have emerged from this unscathed, free of any foreign objects, and clean as a whistle....not an ounce of ink on my hands! Does it get any better than that!!!? Maddy can breathe a sigh of relief that no emergency services have been called! :)
Remember, keep smiling......it makes people wonder what you've been up to! :)))

Well I'v never come across an inked veggie before, but am most impressed! It's certainly original! I've got peas with my dinner tonight, I think they might be a little fiddly though!
Love your blog

AWESOME turnip..... a '5' seems a bit mean though!! ....IT.. did behave & sit still for you. :O)
Love the purples, Mmmm.
Great work and I have to agree with Gez that a 5 seems a little mean!
Bet Maddy was pleased that you chose a harmless turnip this time LOL xx
What a transformation turnips are so dull looking but this one is a beauty, a mean old five's not good enough sorry :)

Wow thats so brilliant Calv colours are gorgeous! I would agree with the others a 5 is a bit mean..go on boost its self esteem and give it a bit more!
Sorry everyone, i have to stick with the five....or possibly a six :)
Glad you all liked it, and yes Sarah Maddy was pleased that we didn't have to call an ambulance with this one! :)
This really is stunning. It reminds me of hand-blown glass. What do you do with these after you've inked them?
I would rather ink a turnip that eat one. This is gorgeous. I love your inking adventures. Just imagine how much fun you'll have when those new alcohol ink colors come out soon.

Great new veg, Calv!
Run down to the Asian markets and get some lemongrass or bok choy or some long green peppers.
Fantastic! I think it's my fave one yet Calv, well done :-)
