Dried Butterfly pea flowers are a perfect flower to start experimenting with to make your own botanical watercolour inks.
The intensity of colour that can be extracted from these flowers is impressive, so the yield is high, and different colours can be made by altering the pH. A second or even third extraction can be made from the same flowers by adding more boiling water to the petals after the first liquid has been squeezed out.
Whilst most botanicals we sell at Wild Studio are grown or wild harvested by us, we supply these flowers from Vietnam as we cannot grow the quantity we need in our climate.
20g. Enough to make 100ml intense blue ink. We recommend the addition of Gum Arabic.
