Let’s Make Colours!

This year, more than ever, we have longed to be outdoors, surrounded by nature. Enjoying the colours of plants and fruits is always a delight, so why not learn to create our own? Helena Arendt has enormous experience in the field of vegetable colours and she shows us how, taking just simple equipment, we can venture out among the plants and create a perfect palette for our little works of art. We can use ink from mushrooms, chalks with geranium juice, or fantastic hues from the earth to create collages, prints and painted stones. Leafing through the pages of this book, we can discover how to create a different laboratory for every day of the summer.   Facciamo i colori Helena Arendt Terre di mezzo editore, 2013
