I loved that book, Make Ink! It is one of my favorite books of all time. I made walnut ink a few years ago and still have several bottles left. I need to use them up...maybe I'll come up with some challenges this year to do it.

Love all of your inks!

Hi, Misti! I can’t wait to try making walnut ink. Did you add iron to your ink?

I don’t believe so. I want to say I used a recipe from the book but it has been at least three or four years now so I don’t recall what recipe I used. I do recall adding some alcohol for mold growth issues.

I love your insights here Alma! Have you seen the documentary about ink? It's called the Colour of Ink and should be available for free online through the Canadian National Film Board.

Corina, Thanks! I haven’t seen that documentary. I hope I can find it. Thanks for the info!
