Homemade Black Walnut Ink - The perfect gift for the artist in your life. This ink was made with black walnuts that are growing in my backyard in the Hudson Valley. I gather the the walnuts as they fall and shuck off the hulls and boil them down with a few additives that work as preservatives, such as clove. 
 
The ink is a nice dark brown and comes presented in the little bag that I hammered a flower on to using the Japanese technique called Hapa Zome.
