It is Rr week and we have transformed white Queen Ann's Lace wildflowers into a beautiful rainbow!
We picked Queen Ann's Lace out in the back fields, brought them in and placed them in jars of colored water.
We picked Queen Ann's Lace out in the back fields, brought them in and placed them in jars of colored water.I used our Color Splash liquid watercolor. I added about a teaspoon of color to each 1/2 pint jar of water.
Luke, watching for some results.
Surprisingly, we didn't have to wait long. These are the flowers after only about 2 hours in the water. (They must have been very thirsty flowers)
2 hours into creating our rainbow.
Less than 24 hours after beginning---we have a beautiful Queen Ann's Lace rainbow!

Very pretty! I can remeber doing this when I was a kid. I've not seen those water colors before either. They look pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I went on walk this morning and saw sooooo much Queen Anne's Lace - we're going back to harvest some so we can try this. It's also perfect because we just checked out Planting a Rainbow at the library last week! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an idea that I never got around to doing. I was going to color some red and blue and leaving some white for the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about doing a whole rainbow. That is such a neat idea and makes a beautiful bouquet!
That is gorgeous, much prettier than the celery I will probably resort to.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and creative.
ReplyDeleteWow that is really cool!
