adventures in walnut ink...
so i purchased some walnut ink crystals. i bought the pre measured 2oz jar, it says just to fill with distilled water and wait 30 min and voila, walnut ink.
only prob was that it was a 6oz jar, with more than 2oz of crystals in it. but i followed the directions and added water...and got mud. ok, clearly i had too many crystals, so i kept adding distilled water and kept testing the consistency...i ended up with 38 ounces of liquid walnut ink. looking back, i probably had about 5 oz of crystals, which is about 30 teaspoons. yikes. only AFTER doing this did i read that you use like 1 teaspoon to 1 oz of water?
so only partially my bad because i only ordered the 2 oz jar and received way more...and the jar was not labelled at all...so in the end i ended up with a hellava lot of ink for less than $5.
