Manual scripts and potato<\/del> beet printing<\/h5>\n

I chose the crafty route for this task, and while we didn’t have potatoes at home, I bought a 5 lb. bag of beets last week and had already boiled and peeled a few that had been waiting patiently in the fridge for someone to eat them. Honestly, I couldn’t think of better use for these beets and transformed them into letters; they are self-inking vegetables, after all.<\/p>\n

I printed the word tacos, because it’s my favourite food, and Taco is my nickname. I celebrated my birthday earlier this week, and my family sent me one of those round taco\/burrito flour tortilla blankets<\/a>, with the following note written by my niece.<\/p>\n

With that introduction, I go full taco(s) mode and present to you a brief 43 second timelapse video of the manual script beet printing process.<\/p>\n
