Text of the page (random words):
place by design the artist s or by chance the paper s or cloth s so dear reader i accept that when i make art with plant ink i need to be resolved to let the plant ink have its way a lot of the time now the wee bottles of ink may want to run amok if left as they come out of the extraction process so far however none has exploded or grown scary beastie like forms in the short weeks since they came to be that is because they contain a little restrainting substance in the form of a natural preservative to encourage but not guarantee longevity of the plant colour extracts i add preservatives such as whole cloves and or wintergreen oil as recommended by experienced and please note still living plant ink makers am thinking that tea tree oil and aspirin might work too to extend the life of the ink and to help it stay mould free though most inkmakers say just keep calm remove any impertinent mould and carry on alcohol is used by some makers as preservative but inkartists can complain of feathering when the ink is used for calligraphy and when the alcohol is present at a preservation useful 15 vinegar has its uses as a preservative it is said but it also lowers ph thus can change the ink colour which may be what you want more than you care about how long the ink lasts i add gum arabic also to help flow and texture i think it best to keep plant inks in the fridge where it is cool and dark but that might be overkill for some for myself i approach inkmaking like jam or jellymaking and so sterlize the bottles and equipment best be upfront about this ink adventure anything made with water and plants together will have a propensity to live its own life if you get my drift and now for the pictures which you may have skipped the text for maybe go back and read the text later i will divide up my recent ink pics over a few posts you can find lots on my instagram too today we have red pink ink made from roselle or hibiscus sabdariffa in jamaica where it is known as sorrel this flower is dried and used in a refreshing drink like lemonade fyi you can buy the dried blossoms in caribbean and mid east food shops the red colour can be hard to keep stable but traditional natural dyers have done it on textiles with special plant mordants check cardon for info see my refs page since fools rush in where angels fear to tread here are my as yet unsubstantiated efforts with roselle colours as ink apologies no pics of the dried plant my stash is now ink after an hour simmering in distilled water a little vinegar and some alum dried roselle calyces are strained and the extract is ready to be boiled down to a concentrate to make the ink two eco print paper bundles were simmered in the roselle dye pot pre extract one bundle had dried safflower petals inserted between the papers the second ecoprint bundle of folded paper cooked in the dye pot had chokecherry leaves inserted between the folds the greens and blues are from the chokecherry the roselle made the purple pink around this is how the red roselle extract colours papers of various composition blue for some and red pink for others depending on the paper ph here is the roselle r with r to l walnut grape buckthorn and irongall sumac on saint armand artisanal paper so that is is for this post on my chameleon inks up next sumac berries i will also post a pic of my latest and re opened references for readers wishing to have a go themselves blessings on the work of your hands this year dear readers share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on

summer 2015 they started out in big jars 128 fl oz a couple of dozen green hulled walnuts in each jar with water to cover left to solar soak outside until frost then transported inside to dark studio cupboards most recipes i have looked at suggest removing the green hull and using that part i thought that maybe some extra tannins might enter the dye if i left the nutmeats inside their shells and cooked them along with the green bits after cooking and before being donated to the critters outside i find they look a quite lovely deep brown walnut does quite well as a dye without cooking i found it enough to simply soak a discoloured vintage white wool coat in a bucket of fermenting walnuts after a couple of weeks soaking and a rinse in plain water this was the colour you can see that different shades of white wool had been used to crochet this thrift shop find i could also have soaked the coat a second and third time for deeper shades wool dyes beautifully in walnut here are some more examples from a few pre ink years ago eco printed wool pre felt native plants lambs wool cardy dyed with walnuts iron nails and eucalyptus i forget which kind little strips of blanket trimmings bundled with various eucalyptus and immersed in a walnut dye bath also from past dye pots linen and cotton dye well also as does paper here are some samples of eco dye prints made in october 2013 while shlomo and i were in residence at arte studio ginestrelle near assisi in umbria the walnut there photo below is the juglans regia ours in ottawa is juglans nigra notice the distinct pinky lavender colour that comes out with the yellow pigment in the eco print the photo above shows one of my artist books with linen covers eco dyed in walnut the pages are about other plants of the subasio regional park where the art residence was located the title of the little book is pianticelli del subasio and now here is a little surprise walnuts combined with wild grapes to make a colour extract i found a reference to this combination in a book about first nations quill dyeing traditions the recommendation was to combine walnuts with a lot of wild grape and cook that until the liquid went black i stopped the cooking way before the liquid turned black and got this grey blue greenish colour you see on tag of the left hand bottle of ink more on grapes next time and to finish in a sweet walnut note from the kitchen here is what we had for breakfast one day at the art residence walnut parmesan scones i do not have the recipe so must go back there and pick it up until next time welcome to new readers and thank you to those who have been following along this inky passage this fall i do have lots of ink fixings in my stash yet to be explored so we are not done yet happy chanuka for tomorrow too this year i made some chanakiot for the grandkids the candle flames are cut outs with velcro attached so the kids can light their candles each night and open a little loot bag too even if we do not celebrate chanuka we can still be the light share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x like loading walnuts continued november 25 2018 wendyfe it s finally time to get to that benignly neglected walnut stash that has been fermenting in a dark cupboard in my studio since the summer of 2015 at canadian thanksgiving in early october i posted a few photos here of a quick dye ink made with a few freshly foraged green walnuts that obliged by producing the above pictured measure of dye i learned from my research however that the best walnut colours in terms of fastness can be had from walnuts that have soaked for a year water covered in wooden casks now my green walnuts had been soaking for three years in big glass jars so neither extra tannins from the wood nor oxygen which is believed to optimize the dye characteristics entered the glass jar as happens with wood casks one might expect bad smells and molds after all that time too but there were none of either my three year walnut liquid had simply become a thick dark brown potage smelling slightly of the fall forest i wonder if fermentation prevents the mold that walnut ink is reputed to harbour time will tell to make this batch of walnut colour i put half a potful of the mushy brown ferment along with the still hard nuts in their shells in the slow cooker covered the sludge with water and heated this for an hour or so at 80 90 c after straining and filtering the liquid i cooked it down by half until it was sort of a bit syrupy the dye looks like this on watercolour paper the dye liquid cooked down was then put into wee bottles with some gum arabic added to ink it up and finished with walnut dyed tags and labels off to the craft fair next weekend in chelsea quebec and taking some buckthorn ink along too next ink colour to try is wild grape waiting its turn in the stash might even have some ready to go with the walnut and buckthorn for next weekend naturally the ink so obtained can work as paint also you can even add some other binder an acrylic glazing liquid might be nice a la
