I suspect being able to "wing it" and get great results is one of the strongest indications of mastering a craft.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Thank you so much 🖤

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Oh wow that’s great how those inks turned out. I like how the acorn ink looks too. I have got Oak acorns & Black Walnuts in my yard that I have been thinking 🤔 of experimenting with too for inks. I will definitely have to figure out how to make the powder & from what parts (caps, shells, husks). Thanks for sharing this fun & interesting video.

Here I am on a Friday night, watching an absolutely stunning woman make medieval ink-I had no idea that my golden years were going to be so exciting!

[@marcydoyle9279]

Stage manager, vlogger, shop owner and artist; you’re a regular energiser bunny. Enjoying your videos very much.

[@urlocalcavebat5173]

Awesome video, it would be awesome to see how blue and green inks were made. ❤😊

[@desmodus_rotunduss]

This was such an amazing and helpful video, I'd love to see more beautiful things made out of scratch like this. I live in a dry forest environment in the very South of Mexico and I like to collect materials to make art, and this was amazing to see

[@deborahwilliams349]

Love the music in this video!❤

New to the channel, great video! I myself have a real fondness for brown inks. I saw your bottle of Walnut Drawing Ink and have enjoyed using it many times with my dip pens. I even have a few hybrid pens ive made that combine the continuous feed of a fountain pen with the flex and hairlines of the Brause Rose nib. Your walnut ink & acorn ink making was a success! Very well done...and then to watch you use it in your own hand was magical. My go-to brown ink right now is Platinum Classic Sepia-Black (an iron gall based ink) Noodlers Walnut ink, and my own unique dip pen ink thats a mix of both Walnut Drawing Ink & Black Iron Gall ink.... would love to hear more from you on the topic of beloved inks/pens! -A Friend In NY

Happy Holidays 🎄.. How cool that you mad ink from Acorns and Walnuts. On the video they both looked very pretty 🥰. Good luck with making them better and their production🤗💕.

The acorn ink looks more golden, and the walnut ink seems more somber. And I love it. It never occurred to me that inks could have fumes. Silly me. I love that the cat has taken its responsibility as inspector seriously.

[@Sarahgetsdressed]

I love the acorn! Thanks for the video as a christmas gift 😉 Edit: can't wait for the patreon print! Gorgeous work.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Thank you! And your print is already on the way 😊

[@helluvascientist]

Happy New Year Maydi! Definitely in love with that acorn ink, so warm and beautiful. I also see you have excellent taste in mustard ;). Great idea turning the jar into a vase; I'm going to have to do that once we finish ours.

[@HanJimin0910]

I love your videos. There's something that makes my heart beat faster😊 I love how you make inks I'm going to try them my self too! I have some questions though, can I use these inks for fountain pens? Or the iron gall waterproof inks you made some years earlier?

[@philipperryman6725]

Hi again any ideas for green ink?

[@rhondawilliams2140]

Lovely ink ❤

[@FrankDAgostino77]

If walnut ink has similar properties to walnut husks, there should be some level of permanence. As a kid, we used to play with black walnuts and they would stain our hands and clothes.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

This is what I have observed as well! The tannins are quite powerful, which makes for nice ink properties.

[@AlexDiaz2030]

Yes, the acorn is beautiful, but the walnut's darker tone I think gives it a bit more depth and character for my taste. And tha Nakarada music was a perfect choice!

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@llamawerkz]

Just as a little experiment, I wonder what would happen if you added some copperas to both the walnut and acorn inks. Would it become a sort of brownish iron gall?

[@lawrencebausman5153]

Hello, You mentioned that you were selling ink on ETSY. But I couldn't find your store. May I have a link? Lawrence

[@nooneasked32]

Can these be used as tattoo ink ??

[@disneylover19]

[@YakovThuja]
