K131. Carol’s Ink Magic Folded Pen Kit

While working with both Dark Blue and Yellow Ochre Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Inks, Carol DuBosch came across something special. She found that by dipping in one ink, then water, then the other ink, she could write in a wonderful mix of different colors. Depending on the particular mix of Blue and Yellow inks and the water, the colors were far from what you would expect — it was ink magic! Carol was kind enough to share her discovery in Bound & Lettered issue 14.4.

This kit contains all that you need to create your own ink magic:

a full-color copy of the B&L article with instructions for the technique and many examples of Carol’s delightful calligraphy showcasing this ink magic
the two inks (W&N Calligraphy Ink in Dark Blue and Yellow Ochre)
6-well mixing palette
Carol’s book Folded Pen Adventures,
Luthis Dragonfly Folded Pen (Carol’s favorite)
8.5″x11″ Capitol Bond Pad
