Recette: Alizarine Ink II

The alizarine ink still has a strong acetic odour. The slightly reddish blue hue lasts even after weeks and does not fade.

Traitement

Pas 1: Put the gall apples in a textile bag and crush the apples with a hammer. Then roughly pulverize them in a mortar. Pour the vinegar over the powder. Transfer to a closed jar and allow to stand for 4 days. After 4 days, pour off the liquid.

Pas 2: Bring part of the liquid to a boil and dissolve the iron (II) sulphate and gum arabic. When the ingredients are dissolved, the solution is combined with the rest of the tanning solution.

Pas 3: Prepare a solution of 7 g of indigotine blue in 100 g of water and add 20 g of this mixture to the tanning solution.
