Lexicon Smash 2/6 // September 2024 // buckthorn berries, marker, liner pen

Reference from Rebel Urban Active Life Mini Skateboard - Pickles Spicy & Delicious on eBay

Another of the pre-toned pieces - this used pigment from buckthorn berries. They produced a rather nice purple - I’d like to try and actually boil down some ink from them some time. I do wish I’d put the “zesty” on the left rather than the right, since it reads a little funny, but I don’t mind it.

Context:
This week's assignment was to take elements from last weeks Lexicon assignment, and combine them into new forms. I'm dubbing this process Lexicon Smash. There's also a couple where we had to borrow an element from a classmate - I'll get to that soon. Also, we had to tone half of them to a darker color to begin with, so some have strange backgrounds.
