Carbon footprints



Illustration Friday's theme this week is 'Beneath'.
These are my baby's footprints at six months old.

May the grass be always green beneath your feet, my darling one.

I used beetroot juice for the original, which came out a lovely soft baby pink, perfect!
But it has faded terribly since, you could hardly see the print when I took a photo of it.
So off to photoshop we go and kill all the cuteness.
Now it's more like a thermal image or what a carbon footprint might look like:)

What a lovely memento of your child's babyhood. Actually, blue and green are my favorite colors. I like the effect very much.

That is a great image for 'carbon footprint' - companies could use that!

No comments on babyhood though I'm afraid, since I am totally unqualified ;-)

ahh... blessings to those feet and the people loved by the heart attached, the smile, the gaze, the dreams.
