My ink experiments for my senior exhibition ‘follow, become a voice’. I chose to try my hand at remaking the first indigo ink I made back in 2019 and a cochineal ink that I’ve been planning to make since 2019. The indigo is a beautiful new rhyme to the original, and I always end up with way more bottles than I expect. The cochineal was a gorgeous color changing surprise, starting red to pink to black. There are spaces where the pink held true and where in the areas of strongest black there’s a bed of red. The anomalies are my favorite part of ink making. #makeink #naturalink #ink #inkmaking #inkmakingexperiments #indigoink #cochinealink #indigo #cochineal https://www.instagram.com/p/CYh6IEnJz9w/?utm_medium=tumblr

Full Moon : For this new design, I made a simple cardboard stencil, cutting out a circle that would be a good size for clothing. Laying the stencil over the fabric, I am able to apply iron ink to just the circle of fabric exposed. The ink is then hung to dry, before dung and tannin baths to darken and oxidize the iron within it. So far I just made two of these shirts but I plan to make at least a couple in all sizes. 

Typography is not a strength of mine; but I am ready for @wildpigmentproject and @torontoinkcompany Waving in Place! My chosen pigment for this event is a silver acorn cap ink with the recipe from Jason Logan's Make Ink book. I was uncertain if this was appropriate since I foraged for these acorn caps in Massachusetts during a time of grief and not from my home here in Montana (which would be really hard because oaks are not native here). Maybe that was too much information; but there are stories here. I went forward with this decision. I'm quite pleased with the outcome, this step forward. I look forward to this pigment party and hope to see new and familiar faces! #naturalink #plantink #botanicalink #wildink #makeink #inks #wavinginplace #pigmentparty #acorncap #silveracorncapink #acorncapink #montanaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRiCqPLslz/?utm_medium=tumblr
