 Re: making ink from dyes
How "natural" do you want? i.e. are you trying to use nothing but plant matter and the like, or are you trying to make the colour that way and that's about it?
Off the top of my head there seem to be three main paths you could take. One is to add your dye to a screenprinting ink base. Simple, should work, but involves using a base. Two is to use urea, soda ash, etc. - same basic principle as the first, but would probably involve less 'outside' substances. Failing that... option three you're pretty much looking at urine, vinegar, etc.
