Indian ink components

<< < (2/2)

stickbender:
     India ink, is made of powdered snail shells, as I recall from a long time ago, but I looked it up and it says, soot,(carbon), lamp black, for the finer ink, and other black ingredients, including burnt bones, and wood. A binder is needed, such as varnish, gelatin , etc.
You can vary the darkness by adding more or less water.
