Here's another source for your black walnut dye. Good 'ol Kremer
Pigments in New York City sells Walnut Hulls (cut pieces) for $4.50 for
100 grams.
There is a water-based ink sold by Daniel Smith called WALNUT DRAWING
INK that, from the product description, has the look of traditional
walnut ink, but is made with (unnamed) modern pigment. Their catalog
description reads, "It's rich color resembles traditional walnut-based
inks, but will not fade and, at 7.9 PH, is far less acidic." So it
seems that Daniel Smith is suggesting that walnut hull dye does fade,
and apparently, is acidic. Sounds like you'll need to do some testing!
Be sure to let us know your results.
