These bottles are fantastic for making your own ink mixes!

To make your own ink you need:

  • Pigment Powder; such as WMC Neons or Fairy Dust.
  • Gum Arabic ; this is what will make the pigment ‘stick’ to the paper.
  • Water; Distilled water ( the type you put in an iron) is chemical free

The process is simple:

  1. I use the Treasure Measure to add equal amounts of Gum Arabic Powder and Pigment to the bottle.
  2. I add water to the half way mark
  3. shake to mix
  4. test on paper and add more pigment if you want a stronger colour, or more water if you want the mix lighter!

Ways to use your new Ink:

 

Optional extras:

  • add a tiny drop of clove oil to your mix as an anti moulding agent
  • add a Mixing ball to make it easier to agitate the ink
