Avocado Pink
Avocado Pink was the first natural dye I made after making my first bottle of Oak Gall Ink. In both case I let my inner 8 year old lead and it was fully joyful experimenting. The alchemy! The “but how did it DO THAT!?”.
This is the medicine of NATURAL INK. It connects me, us, back into curiosity. The learning, research and refining grew from there. But the inner 8 year old is never too far away.

★★★★★
“I’ve used the light sepia and the black ink from The NATURAL INK Project and was thoroughly impressed with the quality. They maintain a really natural look and convey subtle variances in tone once dry. Beautifully elegant and just the right viscosity! Plus thoughtful and conscious packaging - would highly recommend.”
