#rainbow corn

I hate hate HATE drawing side portraits so I made myself do it by drawing my fave ( @bloodinwine 's Effy Lovell, I'm begging yall to read Until You if you haven't). Nothing motivates you quite like not wanting to f*ck up a pretty face. Reference below.

This was fun to do.

[ID: nine different pictures featuring small ears of rainbow corn that are mottled yellow, white, and blue.

The first picture shows three ears of corn sitting next to eachother on a peice of white paper, with a white hand to the left, showing the scale. The largest ear is just barely the length of the index finger shown, and half as wide as the thumb is long. The ear in the middle is the shortest, and the one on the other end is bigger, but just barely. The picture is slightly blurry.

The second picture shows the ears in the same order, now being held by the white hand, to further present their scale. The one on the end has fuzzy hairs still stuck to the end, and the one in the middle has a curly tail where no kernels grew. The shades of the colors vary widely, and some are even speckled.

The third picture shows a close up of the third ear from the first two pictures, showing more detail in the colors. The kernels are shiny, and range from a pale off-white cream color, to pale yellow, bright yellow, dark blue, purple-blue, and some that are yellow with blue speckles, or white with blue, or silver with blue. 

The fourth picture is an even closer picture than the third, but it is much blurrier. 

The fifth picture has zoomed out to show the size of the ear, which is very small compared to the hand holding it. This picture is also blurry.

The sixth picture shows the same hand now holding a pile of kernels that have been removed from the ear.

The seventh picture shows the kernels and the now-empty ear piled on a silver wire rack.

The eighth and ninth pictures are the same, with the first being much blurrier than the second. They show a close up of the hand holding up a single, off-white kernel that is speckled with blue up to the camera.

End ID.]

134 seeds from just one tiny baby ear of corn :)

I call this color combination Fallout 4 corn because it's the same colors of corn you grow in the game, which I love because you actually get to HELP people instead of just looking out for yourself :) :) :)

If you want to save corn seeds, all you have to do is let them dry on here. Just make sure you unwrap the ear, don't leave it covered with the husk, because I did that one time not thinking it through, and then I opened it, and for a second I thought it was covered in worms because every single one of the kernel's had sprouted and grown inch long roots. So maybe if you want an entire ears of corns worth of seeds to sprout maybe you can do that, but it's like, that's not how you save them for LATER.

If you leave the husk attached to you can lift it up like they do with the ones that they sell in stores for decoration, and tie a string to hang it up somewhere, or are you can leave it on some newspaper or a well-ventilated wire rack to dry.
