Hi, my name is Cory and I'm an artist that uses nature as a medium. A lot of times I like to DIY my own paper from grass or in this case leaves. Every time I make paper from plants, I'm left with a residual "tea" (not for consumption!) that I've always wanted to try and use for something else. Since in my last video I made paper out of leaves, I wanted to show you how I used the left over liquid and repurposed it to use as ink! I'm happy to say this DIY ink experiment was a success and is a great way to use fallen autumn leaves. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to use it for (besides drawing of course), but I'd like to use it in some creative ways in the future!

You could also make ink from burning twigs then take the black charcoal pieces and after crushing them put a tiny amount of water.. depending on the water you put you can control the thickness and also the darkness of the ink.. (Also greetings from Greece!)

@Dordien Год назад

To make ink like that you need soot not charcoal. But close enough. You have to burn something fatty like actual fat, oil or pine wood and let the smoke "percipitate" on some cold surface and use that to make ink. The particle size must be really small and it has to be very pure carbon

I have a couple if things to add. 1) You can use the high tannin containing "leaf tea" to tan leather. A cool experiment is to buy a dog's rawhide chew toy and soak it in the leaf tea for a couple weeks, the rawhide should turn into vegetable tanned leather. 2) The leaf ink is an acidic ink (due to the tannic acid) which can damage some papers over time, a trick to reduce the ph levels is add a bit of baking soda to the boil at the same time you add the gum arabic. 3) If you want a blacker ink (instead of a dark brown) you can mist some 000 fine steel wool with vinegar and let it rust through completely (you might have to mist it with vinegar more than once), add the powered rust to the ink and it instantly turns black. This needs to be done before you neutralise the tannic acid with baking soda however, so plan accordingly.

@workinprogress5431 10 месяцев назад

That's a really cool tip with the black oxide. You're probably aware but for anyone else that's the same concept for making your own black leather dye. Steel wool and vinegar makes an oxide solution that can be brushed onto already tanned leather which reacts instantly with the tannins to produce a deep black (or gray shades if you take single light passes). Same as the tannin ink here.

@Wanderer_of_Sol Год назад

My only suggestion from my experience is to add some high proof alcohol to it because it will spoil in the bottle after a while. I made like 2 gallons of ink from black walnut husks 2 years ago and I still have some and it hasn't gone off yet. I added about 5% by volume of some cheap vodka (mostly because it was cheaper and easier to find than high concentration rubbing alcohol during covid's height)

@trevorcross6132 Год назад

Very cool! I don't usually comment on videos, but two things occurred to me that I just have to mention: 1) the ink is already a nice brown, but if you dissolve some steel wool in vinegar and add a few drops of that solution to the ink you might be able to change it into a deep black (black ink isn't super novel, but it's still cool chemistry). And 2) because the ink looks like it's made of many different leaves, I bet there are numerous different pigments in it. A simple chromatography experiment could separate out the components of the ink, but you could also apply different solvents near the ink on paper to create cool patterns and designs. Maybe this is already an art technique but this video seems like the beginning of several fun ideas!

I have made a fair amount of ink from natural materials. Here are a couple tips. The type of leaves you use can effect the color and quality of the ink you get. You did not say what type you used so I am guessing you used a mix of different types. If you simmer but do not let the ink boil it is supposed to not spoil as quickly but I have never noticed a difference. You can add 3-4 whole cloves to your ink which will help keep it from molding, also adding some salt or vinegar can help "set" the ink and prevent fading. Hope these help and have fun making ink and keep posting your experiments.

1:18 I recently started brewing my own cider. I always drink my art 😂 Edit: Years ago, I studied Arabic Calligraphy and our teacher, an Egyptian gentleman, had this really cool special flask of brown ink, much like this one, he explained that he made it himself. I’ve never tried it myself, but his recipe called for toasted (almost burnt) rice grains. I assume they would be toasted gently, left to cool down, then crushed into a powder, mixed with water, filtered, and then mixed with gum arabic or some other thickening agent. He also taught us to make our own reeds with bamboo.

There's a type of ink called iron gall ink. A gall is sort of like a tree cyst. It collects a lot of tannic acid from the tree. You can soak the crushed up galls in hot water, or boil them, to get a very similar brown liquid. You then soak something iron in it which darkens the liquid to a black or very dark brown. You might try soaking iron in your leaf tea, to see if it darkens.

@TheMurlocKeeper 10 месяцев назад

You're dead right on this! Oak galls were used to both make ink from, and also as a cloth dye. When boiled in a cast iron pot, it made the gall even darker! Some people have been mentioning steel wool, and I guess that would work too. It's not quite the same thing, but it may be close enough. My history nerd knowledge rarely comes in useful...but I guess today's the day! :P

@patrickvicente1295 9 месяцев назад

From what I learned, what makes the ink darker is a reaction between the iron sulfate and the tannic acid, so it will only works if the leaves he is using are rich in tannic acid.

Black ink is just carbon. As long as your main material is carbon, you're fine. The thing you have to be careful is that some material is acidic or alkaline, and the ink will eat through your paper, slowly but surely. If you're not sure about what pH your material is, just use burned ash of a candle. Adding water and Arabic gum, then you will get pH neutral ink.

@catholicarrows Год назад

Candles don't produce ash, just melted wax.

And if your leaf ink is more acidic than you want, you can just neutralize it with some baking soda during the boil.

01:18 If that "ART DON'T DRINK!!" label is just for you as reminder/caution fine but if it's for other people, you should add a string around the neck so it's not open with a flick of a finger. I'm telling you this because I do similar stuff(bit more corrosive and hazardous) with similar bottles and labels yet someone tried to consume it even though there was a huge label on it. I started tying strings or those twisty wires around necks so it can't be opened without removing it first. And it works, when they can't open, they always inspect the bottle more and figure out there's something off.

Some fountain pens use a cartridge. An empty cartridge could be refilled with your homemade ink by using a syringe. Doing so avoids the dipping step which can be messy, it can also avoid accidently knocking over the ink although as an artist you may have steadier hands making you less likely to knocking things over. Some plant pigments are fat soluble, others are water soluble. Letting mashed leaves steep in warm oil such as avocado or even canola will likely pick up these dark pigment and at the same time these anti-oxidants will prevent the oil from going rancid. This ink will be thicker but may be absorbed by the paper differently than the water based ink. In coffee you have both water and oil solved pigments the oil coming from the coffee bean.

@ingridsnook7636 9 месяцев назад

Do you think the rawhide dog chews would work?

@hanzflackshnack1158 9 месяцев назад

@@ingridsnook7636 I love the way you think but sadly, probably not. The reason hide glue works is collagen. Dog chews are scraped treated and processed to ensure consistent quality. This process reduces collagen content. However: Since we aren’t trying to make carpentry glue here, beef bone glue would work. They used to use it for binding books. Clean the bones throughly to remove impurities and any fat that might be present then break them with a hammer. Do a pre-soak in cold water to leach anything out that might add undesirable color. For collagen extraction you want to go with a light simmer, not a boil (violent heat can destroy the compounds you’re extracting) 8-10 hours should be enough but the only safe indicator is pull a bone out and see if it breaks easily. Strain it through fine mesh then cook down into a paste over low heat. Camphor oil is used in Chinese ink sticks as a preservative (plus the smell is beautiful). In absence of that, tree sap from an evergreen can be used (pine, fur, spruce, cedar, juniper). The resulting paint is somewhat like a thin oil paint but I think it’s pretty cool to try something different. Best of luck to you. If you do make it, please come back and let me know what you think and if you found any improvements on the process ✌️🙂

You got the main ingredient of iron-gall ink: tannin. I think if you add the right form of iron to your leaf tea, perhaps after some fermentation, it will become luxuriously dark. (but of non-archival quality) Wikipedia says that iron(II) sulfate was among the iron compounds used in the past. If instead of stewing the leaves, you burnt them beneath a cold brass bowl and collected the soot and added gum or gelatin, you'd get a much more permanent ink.

@kevinbihari 10 месяцев назад

Cool thing man. Should have done it on the leaf paper though. You can try adding other stuff to the ink as well, such as copper. Have copper nitrate and silver chlorate react to form silver nitrate and copper chlorate. Or take those copper sponges and douse them in an acid. It should turn into very fine copperoxide particles to be green. Iron 2 oxide for black and iron 3 oxide for red. (Just neutralise and stabilise the solution for either 2 or 3) Zinkoxide tends to be yellow so you could add that. To get your red green yellow and blacks. And then you can blend them.

You realize what you've made before adding the gum Arabic, is called a tannin. I'm not surprised it ate through the plastic either. That's not just the heat, it's highly acidic and can melt certain substances and people use it to tan and color animal hides hence the name tannin. It can be made with leaves, wood, or bark from a tree. Hardwood tree types like oak which can work better than soft woods like pine, but tannin can still can be made from both. I commend you for your experimentation. Keep being awesome!😁👍

I couldn’t agree more! I know walnut husks are a traditional source for dark inks, but never looked into red inks. I’ll have to research roselle!

It's typical that I find your channel now, when it's just the beginning of sumner in the UK and all the fallen leaves have gone haha😣. Nevertheless, I'm so glad I found your channel! I have so much to look forward to this autumn with all the dark red sycamore leaves and my neighbours shrub with such vibrant reds. Have you ever tried using fresh leaves to make green or yellow ink?

i had to access the CC for this video. it was fabulous but i had trouble hearing you. i have both my system volume up all the way and the youtube apps volume all the way up and i struggled .. it was little bit frustrating but most things in the world today are. thanks for helping me learn this technique i cant wait to try it :)
