Botanical Inks - Sap Green

Botanical ink, handmade in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.  

A medieval colour that was made from the juice of the Buckthorn berries reduced to a syrup and sold in pigs’ bladders rather than as a dry pigment.  We use a medieval recipe for this ink but ours is in a bottle!  

Lovely colour on its own but looks good with Oak Gall, Logwood or the bright Sappanwood.
