I am excited to be full engaged in learning how to make inks and pigments from Nature. This past September / October I was full on gathering berries and nuts and crushing my first rocks for pigments.
I have some artist friends who have been doing this, and decided to take the first step. Now i have a refrigerator FULL if inks from walnuts, acorns, sumac, poke, wild grape, marigolds, avocado and more.
I’ll be showing you some of my experiments and the images I’m creating.
Here are a couple short videos I posted on Facebook this week on my process.
