OUT OF STOCK - "Plant and Ink: make your own plant-based ink" Judith Rosema HURT BOOK SOLD OUT

Create a rainbow of vibrant, natural inks from the plants and flowers around you, and this book is an invitation to embrace sustainability. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a curious beginner, this book will open your eyes to the creative possibilities that nature has to offer.

Plant-based inks are richer in colour than synthetic inks, producing a wide range of tones and unique, stunning visual results; extracting and storing these inks ready for use is made simple in this beginner-friendly book. The 27 seasonal plant ‘recipes’, which yield 49 colours of ink, are ordered seasonally, to accompany you through the creative year.

Discover:

Warm yellows from daffodils in spring;

Rich reds, pinks and indigo from poppies in summer;

Light blue and mint green from sage in autumn;

Warm orangey-browns from hazel in winter.

Each recipe contains a guide to the plant used, the lightfastness of the ink created, written step-by-step instructions for extracting the ink, and beautiful visuals to illustrate the colours available; handy tips are also included for working with plant-based ink.
