Testing avocado ink + iron water
Переглядів 64Місяць тому
In this short video, I’ll show you what effect I got when I mixed iron water with my ink that I made from the avocado seeds. If you’re curious how to make iron water, it is water that has had rusty objects like nails and bits of rusty metal soaking in it for a couple of weeks. The underwater changes the pH of the ink and therefore changes the colour. in this case the avocado ink goes from a dee...

    The project is beautiful, but with all these types of books they have no “signal.” or signage as to the time you’re referring to. If I found this book 50 years from now I’d have no idea its importance and relevance. As an artist of the 21st century-romanticism you have a “responsibility” to convey a message that identifies it as an important piece of history, which it is.

    This is a stunning piece of fine art. I dabble in this and that media but I always come back to making artists books. I just finished a one signature book that I made for a friend, it was based on an Edwardian aesthetic . What I love about your book is the cohesiveness of the theme you've used two major elements the color blue and the U shape and added what I would call some commentary (white gel handwritings, some rust accents, etc.) that add interest. I could talk about piece forever and I know I will be revisiting it frequently, it touched me so deeply. I have subscribed and belled your name and look forward to spending a few days looking at all your work. Best wishes. PS I didn't mention the origin of the title because this comment will end up being a book but suffice it to say BRAVA!
