Botanical Waste Inks

$7.00

Handcrafted from flower and food waste, these botanical inks are a living expression of natural color. Each bottle contains a fluid, slow-brewed in small batches using foraged or salvaged materials, altered through pH shifts and mineral modifiers. No synthetic dyes or preservatives, only nature, transformed.

Expect subtle variation between batches and within each color as it evolves over time. The lightfastness of the ink varies from color to color. That’s the beauty of working with a living medium: these inks breathe.

Ink Color Variants (20ml bottles):

  1. Clay Hush – A soft taupe brown with a quiet, grounding presence

  2. Fernlight– A fresh pistachio green reminiscent of young spring shoots

  3. Dust Moss – A yellow-leaning green with a hint of mineral softness

  4. Riverbank Deep – A cool, inky forest green, like water pooled in shade
