I made natural ink in the last days for my own use and for the workshop this Saturday. Different colours and different preparation methods. There are alcohol based inks (f.e. yellow, curcuma, light pink, rose) and water based inks (f.e. red: beet, green: spinach, pink: rose, brown: coffee, purple: wild cherries) but I also like to experiment with other ways to catch the colour, for example by using beets as stamps, or the yellow sap from the greater celandine straight from the plant, or even just putting a used teabag on a piece of paper.
I prepare a dough with rose petals and lemon balm in the oven house. It would have been wonderful to use the old traditional wood oven, but this only makes sense when you bake a lot of bread or pizza, since it needs a lot of wood and a lot of time firing it.
