Title: Drawtober 2 Beyen-mokiny
Content Notes: Caution! Your plant may not be my plant, so be cautious what you're eating and rubbing on yourself.
Drawn with a Kakimori dip nib for the Pelikan Apricot Achat, Pyrite and Rose Quartz inks, and with a Pelikan Twist for the Aventurine. Blending the Aventurine and the Pyrite with the Kakimori was very easy and I really liked the effect and the shade was very close to the leaves in the sunshine.
So, today's prompt from this list https://goss.dreamwidth.org/file/1625739.jpg is Sunflower. I'm roughly working through it for this year's stab at Drawtober/Inktober because the drawesome community on Dreamwidth is pretty cool. But, most of them are in the Northern Hemisphere which is not where I am. So I'm playing fast and loose. Today's prompt is Sunflower, and the closest thing to me at the moment sunflower wise is this plant which I'm growing on my verge. It's commonly known as pigface. Overseas it's called sea fig. It flowers about now and the fruit will develop through Kambarang and continue to ripen in Birak.
But It is a relative to a naturally occurring species, which some of the Nyoongar people call Beyen. It's an important plant to them. So I'm calling this Beyen-mokiny - similar to a Beyen. You can certainly eat the fruit of it, it's very nice! It's said you can eat the leaves cooked, maybe raw, but I haven't tried them. Wild Food in Australia said they were yucky but the fruit was great. Another use is it's great for burns - spread the pulp of the leaves on a burn and it acts in a similar way to aloe vera. Better in my experience, it's better. The endemic one is pink, the introduced one is yellow, but can have pink and apricot tones, I hear it crossbreeds readily with the native one.
So there you go.

Drawtober 1 Nasturtiums in Kambarang
Content Notes: Drawn with a Kakimori dip nib using J Herbin 1670 ink. Here in South Western Australia we are entering our warming part of the year, of our 6 seasons 'Kambarang' is the most well known, and loved, for its profusion of wildflowers. I hope to get out there and draw some of them for you during this event!
Nasturtiums are not native to this country, and indeed can be quite invasive in some places, but here in my front garden they suppress weeds and have warm colours from pale yellow, to very deep red. They are starting to become less rambunctious, a sure sign that the warming weather is on the way.
I don't think I've viewed this ink in sunlight before, it seems to have some chameleonic properties.
