New Calligraphy Ink! I150 True Walnut Ink

We have a new calligraphy ink in stock and ready for purchase! Item I150, True Walnut Ink. This ink is derived from a different method versus our S449 Walnut Ink Crystals. The crystals dissolve in water to make ink. For True Walnut Ink, we soak the walnut husks (from the Black Walnut Tree) for a few days, then we strain and add a tiny bit of alcohol to inhibit mold growth. Creates a rich, dark brown. True Walnut Ink is currently available in a 1 oz size.

Our newest ink is our True Walnut Ink (item i150). It is a handmade ink made from walnut husks that is a rich dark brown. You can also buy a kit to make your own Walnut ink (item i149).
