~~~ Walnut Ink Crystals ~~~

Walnut Ink Crystals - 4 0z. - $6.50 Will last a LONG time!

Walnut ink crystals are my favorite "instant gratification" in aging EVERYTHING! I never use tea or coffee since the solution will mold over a short period of time. I always have a jar of my "secret" mix ready for use on my art table. When it gets low, I just mix the next batch and replenish whatever is left in the bottom of the jar. Then I adjust the solution to my liking. I never throw away any excess. Not even the dried up dregs in the bottom. All you need to do is - simply add 3-5 pinches of crystals per cup of water for staining/aging. If you desire calligraphy ink, then 1 -2 pinches per tablespoon of water should be good. You will soon find a mix to your own liking. Just play around with it - drip, splatter, sponge, etc. I love to spritz it on ribbons or fabrics to make them appear vintage. As for me - the crustier, the older, the better.
