A new adventure with walnut ink

After slipping and sliding over the walnuts pretending to be marbles in the backyard, I decided something had to be done.  So the time has come to turn them into ink.  This is my little lab experiment and I thought it might be nice to document the process and share it with the world.

Too many walnuts to slip on

I love my walnut trees.  But they're messy and prolific.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.  When your trees give you black walnuts, you make ink.  Once I get it labeled, I'll be selling it in my Etsy shop.
