Quinoa

I know! You're probably thinking, what the heck is it. I thought the same. Apparently it's a seed substitute for rice or pasta. It is very Vegan friendly because it is gluten free. The Incas saw Quinoa as a sacred religious grain that could not be in possession of anyone but themselves. I am researching Quinoa for a graphic design project and am learning quite a lot about the history of Quinoa and Peru (where it originates). This is the second half of my research. The first was to find out everything I could about stone, and that's how I came across stone lithography. Somehow, we will be bringing these two projects together. I am eager to see what I will come up with. :-)
