Here is G-man's picture of the "Red Coat" and the soldier. Done with a quill and strawberry ink.
My strawberry ink consisted of half a bag of frozen strawberries that I thawed in the microwave (following the instructions of thawing on the bag). Then I smushed them and pressed them into a strainer to keep the pulp out of the juice.
I collected the juice in a measuring cup and we dipped our feather quills right into the "ink".
It took awhile to dry. I was showing G's picture to The Professor last night - and the ink still smells like Strawberries....mmmmm....
Scratch and sniff - without the scratching!
We were going to make ink out of blueberries, but we had so much fun eating the blueberries that we, well, had nothing left to make into ink.
There you have it. My inky story.
