Mixing Walnut Ink
Dissolve ink crystals in a water
according to desired strength. Many people suggest distilled water -
however, I usually use just regular tap water.

Storing Ink
Store in a glass jar with a lid.
If you happen to leave the lid off you can reconstitute the crystals by
mixing in water. If you won't be using it for a few days store it
the the fridge.
I also like to use a small glass
bottle with a dropper for my working bottle. That way I can
drip it onto the surface.

Usage Tips
Walnut ink is water soluble.
Therefore, the finished product should be sprayed with a fixative or a
sealer.
The type of paper is important.
One technique will work on one paper and not on others. So play
around with the papers until you get the look you want.
