How to make flower ink

Palette of the Month Bonus

Greetings!

My month of March has been quite busy. Busy enough that Palette of the Month didn’t quite break ground with a fully bloomed presentation. I want you to know I am all or nothing with this - if it’s not a full fledged process of deep research, experimentation and implementation of color and story, it’s not a fulfillment of my intention. I will not short change us with a flimsy version of that intention just for the sake of it! But don’t worry, something fun, approachable, timely, and special waits you below.

This month was different because right now I find myself in London visiting my best friend. It is very spring here! Everything is in bloom and the sky has even been blue.

Today we walked through a gorgeous garden park where spring has officially popped off in blooms on trees and at foot. I can’t bear to skip a month for my paid subscribers and the arrival of flowers showed me exactly what to do. So as a bonus post for you, in part because flowers say so, in part because I’m accountable to my monthly promise, and in part because sharing how-to instructions brings me so much joy: below you will find a recipe to make your own inks from flowers. I love doing this, and hope you do too!

Making ink isn’t just about forming color, it’s about forming relationship.
