 1. **Step 1: Gather nuts!** Black walnut trees are native to our area and tend to drop late summer into fall. We've had the most success using nuts collected around October. Nuts collected in Spring (fallen the previous fall) did not produce a dark enough pigment. Older walnuts that have already ripened are ideal. You don't want the green husk or the actual nut itself in your ink. You want the black shells only and the stinkier the better. The amount to gather depends on how much ink you want to produce, I made my first successful batch with enough nuts to fill a large cooking pot. It made approx. 24 bottles of ink.  1. **Step 1: Gather nuts!** Black walnut trees are native to our area and tend to drop late summer into fall.

 +  * Font used is [[https://ko-fi.com/s/fdd2148b24|Soapy Hands by Sara's Fonts]] 
 +  * Please share this zine digitally and physically with your friends!  I sell physical copies if you'd like to tip me, but you can even print more copies of it to give out, as long as it is for non-commercial use. 
 +  * This is an 8 page mini zine, but instead of the middle-cut-and-fold method, I used a strange printing/cutting format so that I could print front/back on one piece of paper to make two zines.
