Lavender Ink
08:12 Dec 22 2010
Times Read: 510
Scented ink will give a delicate, intangible fragrance to your personal writings, a fragrance that will waft out as soon as the envelope or pages are opened. It will linger mysteriously over the pages of your Book of Shadows..
Ingredients:
1/2 oz (15g) dried lavender flowers
6 tbsp water
1 small bottle ink (can use Dragons Or Doves Blood ink)
Directions:
Crush the lavender and put into a saucepan with the water. Bring them to the boil and simmer for about 30 minutes or until you have 2 tablespoons brown, opaque liquid left. Strain, pressing down well. Mix the liquid with the ink.
Fragrant Dragon's Blood Ink
08:11 Dec 22 2010
Times Read: 511
Dragon's Blood resin (powdered if possible)
colorless alcohol
tightly sealable jar
one cinnamon stick (chipped)
or 15 cloves
or one vanilla bean (chipped)
or 9 coffee beans (crushed).
Pour the resin and spices into the jar. Pour in just enough wine/vodka/???? to cover the resin/spices mixture plus 10% more. Seal the jar. The resin will leach it's color into the alcohol, faster if it is a powder than if it is resin chunks. The spices will leach their scent into the ink at the same time.
When you think it is dark enough, dip a sterile toothpick into the liquid, and test on the paper you intend to use it with. Let dry: is it indeed dark enough, or does it need more steeping? Continue steeping and testing.
When it is done, strain to remove the resin and spices. Return the liquid to the bottle, use for writing. Be advised that this is not a sun-fast ink, so it should not be used for things that will spend a great deal of time in the direct sunlight.
