Making Lava Aid Out of Cherries

Oh no, what to do with messy fingers
from delighting in summer ripe cherries?

No napkin?

Use a sketch book page
paint lava trails with cherry juice
that turn to ash as they flow
feeding flowers with rich volcanic soil

Yes, some of the lava was fingerpainted with cherry juice. Yum!

  1. I forgot about the cherries. Food “juice” sometimes gives you different colors than you expect (e.g., coffee is much more yellow than I anticipated & it’s hard to make it look dark). Lovely work & glad the expected color emerged.

    1. I wasn’t sure what I expected but since you read that moving poem about volcanic ash nurturing flowers – and my fingers were juicy red, I thought I would try it. It looked pretty good so I ate more cherries. 🙂
