made with red tickseed

005 - jasper watercolor ink

Colors: shades of yellow pebbles, light orange, reddish pink, and purply brown (please note the jasper/moon and jasper/mars photos did not transfer well - I’m working on it!)

Notes: lightfastness is undetermined, but Mercury and Mars modifiers tend to produce longer lasting color

Ecology: Red Tickseed produces a mass of flowers that attract pollinators, and provide habitat for native spiders.

Magic: These flowers symbolize happiness, love, and cheerfulness.

The color swatches above illustrate the watercolor ink on its own, and with different modifiers painted on top. Swatches, in order: unmodified, sun, moon, mercury, mars.

There may be color variance in color swatches due to computer monitors and phone screens. Photos were taken in natural light.
