Trying a 250 year old ink recipe

Love it. Have always loved your channel. Very sad you seem to have given up on it. You do odd stuff like I do lol.

I haven’t given up quite yet, but I got a new job that takes up all of my free time these days. I really want to get back to making videos, but currently I just don’t have the time.

This is amazing, thanks for sharing your experience! Can I use gum arabic? I feel inspired to try out

[@michaelaschmid]

It should work. Gum Arabic and tragacanth have very similar consistency, so the result should be pretty similar… but that’s a guess to be honest. If you try it, let me know! but be careful with the soot, it flies away with the slightest breeze and stains everything :)
