Inks based on alcohol¶
making inks & modifying¶
An excellent opportunity to forage in kitchen cabinets, stock rooms, shops and markets.
I made some water based inks from the two different avocado dyes and the campeche dye.
Research¶
"From the neighbourhood fish monger Vishandel Tel I bought a cuttlefish or Sepia. I filleted the animal and kept the inkgland separate in the freezer.
In the kitchen cabinets I found some red yeast rice or angkak or red rice koji. A fermented rice used to colour foods like char sui and peking duck a pleasing deep red colour. It is also widely used in (Chinese) Medicine to treat indigestion, heart disease and improve circulation. The koji came from local asian supermarket dun yong, and was past its use-by date, perfect for doing something else than ingesting it.
I always have fresh tumeric at home, for use in curries, tea and smoothies.
I made some alcohol based inks from the Sepia Ink gland, some fresh tumeric, red yeast rice, avocado wood and the campeche from the kit. "
