Ink making experiment continues by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia

I, Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia, , am adding here three pages of documentation of my experiment to create ink from common, ordinary household items so that anybody anywhere in any country could have a way to write or draw. I wrote my notes using the ink I have created and writing on ink jet paper [which usually accepts ink just fine] and trying to make it visible in a photograph. I signed these notes and I photographed and uploaded them. My maternal grandmother would have said "the proof is in the pudding" as to if something worked? So, the first photo is day 7 of experiment I began last week and documented in previous post also. This post is continuation of that post and continuation of my experiment to produce a good enough ink to write and draw with using ordinary always on hand stuff. Notes are self-explanatory. Read in sequence. The middle photograph is pg 2 of day 7 documentation. As always, anything I write, draw, paint, sketch, photograph and sign is copyrighted content under copyright laws of United States and other countries also. See my copyright notice and full disclosure statement on my about me page on this blog. Day 7 of ink making experiment hand-written notes of mine using ink I made with this process:

Day 7 page 2 experiment to add corn starch to formula to thicken ink so it will adhere to a dip pen:

Day 8, to test ink with corn starch and more paprika after it set all evening and all night:

Summary of results so far:

Ink is usuable, doesn't smell like Isopropyl alcohol but very much smells like pepper [paprika] but didn't make me sneeze; works with dip pen after addition of corn starch solution made with one tablespoon corn starch in about 1/4 cup water, then adding 2 tbsps of that to the ink. A dip pen nib for drawing is what I wrote these notes with and dipped in the ink. I think this is a serviceable ink that poor people in almost any country of the world would be able to make at home [which is my goal and for me to have a more reddish brown sepia ink to draw with also to recreate the look of the "old Masters" artist who drew sketches in the ink they made themselves. I do not know how they made ink. I started with idea to make it and no idea how to make it and try several methods but reasoned that tea leaves are common everywhere in world [either grown there or can be bought at any vendor that sells food] so would not create hardship to anybody to have ink. I put the ink in a washed [used-up] jelly jar with tight fitting cap and rubber-seal inside cap. I printed the first page of this with a script brush and then used a dip pen. You should be able to tell where I started using the dip pen [a metal nib on pen holder]. Also, I made two ink spots and labeled one "control" and did not add water to that one. To the ink spot on the right, I saturated a paint brush with cold water, and "swabbed" over the ink several times after it had dried. You can see the water stain but the original scribbled back forth of my ink blot on the bottom right of page 8 did not disappear.

Anyone should be able to reproduce this experiment but I intend to own the patent. Gloria Poole; at my apartment in Missouri which is not shared with anyone; 28-April-2014 at 12:46pm

Ink Making Process created by Gloria Poole,RN, artist of Missouri and Georgia;Update

I, Gloria Poole, residing in Missouri but born in state of Georgia, tweeted on @gloriapoole that I was experimenting to create ink from tea leaves and this is the result. I got the idea of making ink from viewing ancient Chinese calligraphic art that uses ink. And from researching that first inks were made from natural substances. I decided to see if I could find a way to make ink using ordinary household items so anyone in the world could make ink to write or draw with. I have drawn with inks intermittently and have an array of store-bought inks but I wanted to make it simple so anyone could make ink. Here's my process since I made notes about it, and drew sketches with the ink I produced.

Day 1 of experiment: I put 3 used tea bags in jar with about cup of water. Stirred it some, let it sit [ to steep] for about hour, but alas!> no stain to water. So,

Day 2 of experiment: I added 9 more used tea bags, thinking used tea bags are more helpful to world because they can drink the tea first then make ink from leaves. Let steep, stirred, tested it. Darker brown stain but the next day stain had faded.

Day 3 : Removed tea leaves from paper tea bags and crushed them in mortar and pestle, then poured 91% Isopropyl Alcohol [First Aid Antiseptic that most families have on hand--definitely do NOT ever drink that, it would kill you!] over it to see if making a tincture of tea made the tea into ink? Waited 24 hours.

Day 4 of experiment; Tea in alcohol produced a darker brown/ visible stain on paper. I waited about 4 hrs retested, stain stayed on white paper. But I wanted a sepia ink which is about the same color of that red chalk and ink the "old Masters" artists created and used in the 14th -15th-16th centuries to draw with. So, I added about 1/2 inch of vermillion watercolor paint from tube. which produced almost no effect on the brown color, and which if had used would have meant anyone else would have to buy vermilion watercolor. So ruled that out. Then thought on it while resting . Decided to see if paprika which holds its color forever [it seems] would add some red to the brown?. I added about teaspoon at first> slightly red. Then added about 1/3 of a 2 oz/56 gram size of paprika [spice: ground pepper] and viola! The color I wanted to achieve. So, I strained it through tea strainer three times but sediment remains at bottom, so will decant to clean bottle. Then I tested it on white ink jet paper to see if it ran off the paper, or what? The drawing was a no thought no effort just get ink on paper sort of drawing, and the ink stayed put, and the color stayed. But the flaw was the ink was too thin t use a dip pen with and I had to use a script brush to paint with. so, more experimentation necessary. I put the "ink" in clean, freshly washed bottle with cap.

Day5. Drawing from day 4 is still visible--didn't fade overnight. So created another drawing to see if the ink itself in capped jar had deteriorated overnight. It seems to be the same. So here are the two drawings. THESE ARE COPYRIGHTED AS ALWAYS AND I, GLORIA POOLE. OWN ALL RIGHTS TO THIS BLOG AND ALL CONTENT ON IT. Read full copyright statement on about me page.

Update 27-April-2014 by me Gloria Poole to add these points: 1) I am still experimenting on how to make the ink formula I created from tea and paprika work with a dip pen, and think I have accomplished it but waiting to see what happens to ink when it sets a while. 2) I updated my https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com today with 8 sketches and 2 oil paintings I created of oceans and lakes. 3) I also updated my https://gloria0817.blogspot.com and the profile of it today which is located at: https://profiles.google.com/gloria0817/about?hl=en. 4) And since I was born in state of Georgia and was active in Republican party there, I follow the news from there [also I have 2 sisters and a brother and many cousins there still].

Violinist sketches by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia

I, Gloria Poole, of Missouri and Georgia,am adding to this blog of mine, 2 sketches I drew, painted, signed, photographed, uploaded of a woman violinist. I drew the earlier sketch [the sketch of woman in hat] in 2013, but planned to repaint it in acrylics since I didn't like the watercolor effect on it. So far, I haven't repainted that sketch so you can see it in watercolor [one with hat]. The sketch in blue dress is one I created yesterday, deciding a violinist wouldn't wear a hat for practical reasons. Playing a violin is vigorous movement of upper body, arms, neck head and a hat would fall off! So this continues my attempt to paint people playing musical instruments. You can see more examples of my attempts to do that on other blogs of mine at: https://gloria0817.blogspot.com; https://gpoole817.blogspot.com; https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com; https://artist-gloriapoole.blogspot.com; https://gloriapoole-paintings.blogspot.com [and possibly any blog of mine because I scatter art I create on several blogs.

Spring is here in Missouri, photos by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia

I went to Southern Baptist Church here in Missouri this morning and sang along with them the praise and worship songs,abut the risen JESUS who is alive forevermore in heaven. So, it's like-minded people lifting their voices in praise and harmony to glorify GOD.

Then I had Easter lunch with some of my family. I took some photos of the budding trees along the way and may add them later. I admit my "church" is usually in my own apartment reading the Bible and praying and playing worship music, and is more often a daily event instead of once/ week. I get very uncomfortable standing for long because I have a ton of metal in one leg and through the ankle joint, but also feel uncomfortable sitting while everyone else is standing. So, I stand and sing for as long as I can tolerate it, then sit down for while, then stand again, then sit down again. I understand totally why some people become recluses after trauma that made them feel 'damaged" and conspicuous if every move is wobbly. This morning I wore a great wide brim hat with a flower-decorative ribbon thing on it, hoping people would notice that more than my wobbly gait.

Here's three selfies of me Gloria Poole born in state of Georgia but residing in Missouri since Oct 31, 2009, in Easter hat and dressed up a bit. I am putting three selfies here of me wearing Easter hat precisely because a criminal at remote location told a lot of people that I [the same woman who was wearing a winter hat in Jan 2010 in Georgia] had died. These selfies of me are series I photographed this morning while dressed up a bit for Easter, and with eye make-up on, and lipstick and my hair in a pony tail so hat would stay on better.

Anyway, I have not drawn many sketches in past 2 days, except a cartoon for my 3 year old grandson and 1 year old granddaughter. I have other grandchildren too, but they are also minors and live in another state. So, when I have more art created, I will post some of it to my blogs.

But here are two photos I photographed this morning with my big digital camera that adjusts for wobble. It's a crepe myrtle tree with buds/blooming :

Until then, happy Easter: JESUS is risen and that means that GOD is alive in heaven and those who believe and accept HIM as Saviour, Messiah, Redeemer will join HIM in heaven some day, when they leave the physical realm on earth.

This is Passover time for Jews & Christians

I, Gloria, am not posting art I created today because I want to write on a topic that is woven through-out history and predates Christianity. It's the feast of the Passover that was the celebration of the death angel from GOD passing over the houses of the Jews who obeyed GOD and put the blood of a lamb on their door posts and over door . To read GOD's instructions on this topic start reading at Exodus chapter 12, verse one and read through especially verse 13 and 14 as written, " and the blood [of the lamb, see verse 7] shall be a token upon the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to THE LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. " Exodus 12: 13-14, King James Holy Bible. Verses 15 begins the exact how-too celebrate and obey GOD for liberating them from Pharaoh, and it continues to chapter 13 all verses. It was the beginning of the end of the reign of Pharaoh because GOD had given Pharaoh ten opportunities to repent and to free the Israelites and Pharaoh had stubbornly refused each time. And of course,the warning from GOD of the death angel over Egypt that would kill the firstborn of every man in Egypt that did not have the blood of the lamb on his doorpost, [see verse 12] was also the beginning of the end of acute suffering and oppression of the Israelites [Jews]by Pharaoh. If you read the entire book of Exodus you will be astonished at what GOD did and how HE sustained them supernaturally after they walked out of Egypt with the clothes on their back after GOD caused Pharaoh and his chariot to be engulfed by the sea.

JESUS observed the Passover according to The Holy Bible. It is written, "and HE {JESUS} said, go into the city to such a man and say unto him, 'The Master saith, 'My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with My disciples." Matthew 26:18. Read on from there to the end of the book of Matthew and you will read the warnings of JESUS to His disciples about one of them betraying Him, and that all that would happen was so the "scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." [Matthew 26:56, KJV]. And you will read of JESUS's suffering on the cross and death and burial; and then in chapter 28 verse 1, begins the resurrection of how the angel of THE LORD rolled away the stone sealing the sepulchre and Mary Magdalene went into tomb to discover that JESUS had risen from the dead as HE said HE would. And the angel of THE LORD told her JESUS had risen and for he not to be afraid and to tell others. [verse 7 ch 28] and in verse 9 ch 28, JESUS appeared in the flesh to them and told them to go into Galilee to tell his family He had risen from the dead. This resurrection is what Christians celebrate as Easter. I am Christian but it is impossible to separate the history of the Jews from Christianity since JESUS HIMSELF was Jewish, and celebrated the Jewish feasts and high holy days and worshipped in the temple. For the record, I am Great Commission Baptist also known as Southern Baptist. The Great Commission is the "label" applied by world to JESUS's words in Matthew 28:18-20,KJV.

Of course, the King James Holy Bible is not copyrighted but in the public domain. It is the most fascinating book you will ever read if you begin with chapter one verse one and read it as you would read any book cover to cover.

Also, I created a new blog that includes the Registered Nurse /RN professional title I have had a long time. I have posted two entries to it so far. You can see art I put on it and read medical info I also put on it at https://gloriapoole-RN-artist.blogspot.com.

Sweden's King and Queen sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia

I, Gloria Poole, born in state of Georgia but residing in Missouri, am posting the sketch I drew, painted, signed, photographed and uploaded this morning. Well, actually, I drew it yesterday from the Daily Mail photo of them; and then painted it with watercolors last night about 2:30am when I couldn't sleep, and then because I didn't like it, re-painted it this morning in acrylics; signed it, photographed it, uploaded it to this blog of mine. I do not think it resembles them very much. So it's a re-do. I am posting it here instead of to my mini exhibition blog that has current Monarchs on it at the moment, because I don't think it's good enough yet to include in an "exhibition" of my art which is what I want that Gloria's blog at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com to be. Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, sketch in mixed media by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia, 13-April-2014, as seen in the news when they were in NY to see their new grandbaby who was born to their 2nd daughter/ Princess:

I think this first pencil drawing quick sketch I drew of Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf years ago, is better.

I also had many domains and many with my very name written as gloriapoole in them from years 2004-2011 when criminals broke into my web-hosting accounts and ripped my domains and content right out-of-admin-panel. I have not bought domains since , because there is no security on web-hosting 'packages" because they do not honor business law or contract laws or any laws that I can tell since web-hosting companies do not try to stop cyber-criminals.

For the record: I am white, single again [divorced twice], woman with brown hair, Southern Baptist Christian, and the mother of two grown "children" who are daughters named Jennifer and Leigh. I am also a Registered Nurse licensed in Missouri; and an artist in all artists' mediums; and a prolife, republican, blogger, tweeter, poet, author of children's book, and citizen journo; and photographer. I was born in the state of Georgia and am a US citizen by birth so I have all Constitutional protections including the First Amendment right to publish, speak, write, protest and the right not to associate with ungodly in general and atheist perverts in particular, or with violent murderous people or with alcoholics or with d-r-ug-a-d-d-ic-t-s [spelled to try avoid being labeled as wrong sort of person by political censorship on the prowl].

Also, for the record [for purposes of copyright and law enforcement {because several facets of my identity such as state of Georgia issued ID were stolen from me more than once and they were in tangible form}], I am not an employee of anyone, and Gloria Poole is my real, born with, legal name {but I have a middle Christian, given name at birth also that I never write as part of my signature}; and I draw, paint, sketch, photograph, tweet, blog , write from my own private apartment in Missouri, which is NOT shared with anyone. I work for myself in other words from my home studio-office which is a dedicated room for that purpose. I think the criminal who stole my GA ID and my Holy Bible with my name printed on it, cut my photo out of the ID and inserted his accomplice's photo which is how it was used to access bank and credit union accounts of mine that began in Colorado. I lived in Colorado only a few yrs and was married a second time there for only 4 yrs and ten months before final decree of divorce from male DBP there. both divorces of mine are public record--one in Georgia and one in Colorado. I moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 to the same apt I am creating this blog from, which is my only residence.

I have NEVER had blond hair even as a tiny child. Both of my daughters were very blond up until college, but their hair is also darker more like mine now. But I know for certain that one of the accomplices of DBP who lives in Colorado dyes her hair a platinum [false looking] blond because she's old and gray- headed if hair not dyed blond. That is a statement of fact relevant to an on-going investigation into who is using my name and identity. I have been reported as blond yet I have NEVER been blond and NEVER dyed my hair. If you see my selfie from 15-March-2014 on about me page, you see the slight grey tendrils at my temples in my brown hair. I reason I earned them! And I'm keeping them.

Prince William and family sketches by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia;Update

I, Gloria Poole, whose name appears on these sketches signed by me simply as Gloria, am posting these sketches I drew, painted, signed, photographed and uploaded to this blog of mine, and have also put 3 new sketches of European Monarchs on my blog at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com today. I drew and painted 6-7 sketches in past few days. These 3 sketches are of real. living people. The first one is Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine of Great Britain who is holding her infant son baby Prince George on the tarmac as they were waiting to board the New Zealand Royal Aircraft and as I saw it in the news when it was tweeted to me. That photo was in news 2-3 days ago. Also, from those news photos I created a close-up sketch of the baby Prince which is sketch 2. I am still drawing the current European Monarchs [as a series] and will add to blogs when painted. I am also still painting on my ethnic series. These are copyrighted images of original art . See statement below sketches.

The first sketch is Duchess Catherine of Great Britain, who is the wife of Great Britain's Prince William.

The second sketch is baby Prince George as he looked in the news 2-3 days ago on his way to tour of Australia and New Zealand for royal duties of his daddy and mama.

The 3rd sketch is Prince William/ Duke of Cambridge [of Great Britain] as I drew him in year 2013 when he was in the RAf [Royal Air force]. I put it as third sketch because it has been posted here before, and is not new to world. But he or course, belongs in the William Wales heir to the throne of Great Britain family since his father is Prince Charles and his grandmother is Queen Elizabeth II. I also drew the Queen and posted it to my Gloria's blog at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.

Painted sketch from Pencil drawing of jumping and dressage by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia; Update

I, Gloria Poole, born in state of Georgia but residing in Missouri [there's reason why I add that], am putting 3 photos of the same sketch. Two of the photos are the preliminary and the third photo is the final drawing before I paint it. I drew these, re-drew them,signed them, photographed them, and uploaded them as always. I plan to also paint the final version of this. I named this sketch "jumping and dressage" which are events in horse shows. I sign my full name often on pencil drawings before I add fixative to them to help preserve them for archives but if I plan to paint the sketch at some later time, I often re-sign it as Gloria in paint. I have written my signature that way since about 1991 but it's not a "rule" of mine as such. It is just intended to preserve my first and last name on pencil drawings if I don't paint them but seal them with fixative, fyi. If you compare the photos of the first drawing and the re-dos you will see the changes I made. In the first drawing, the horse's head was too small--out of proportion to his body; and the back leg that's extended didn't look as if muscle was stretched --lengthened. And the front leg and shoulder looked too small. So I re-drew it. After I re-photographed it I saw that the harness and bit looked lop-sided, so I re-drew that also . Also, I re-drew the eye because it was the wrong angle to the plane of the head. Update on 6-Apr-2014 by me Gloria to add in the photo I photographed after I painted this sketch. You will see from the painted sketch that I corrected the far side of the jacket, and the top hat, and the front legs of the horse that looked too skinny, as I painted it in acrylics. And I kept what I written in pencil and just painted over same words with black paint [in right side of sketch]. Ordinarily, I would have erased what I had written in pencil and re-signed it in paint, but I wanted there to be no question that I am drawing by free -hand what I am painting, and signing.

Aristocrat sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia

I, Gloria Poole, born in state of Georgia and residing in Missouri, put two new photos I photographed of sketches I drew painted signed but they are both the same sketch. The bottom sketch is the rough draft sort of--the first drawing in pencil that I drew early this am. This sketch and drawing is NOT a real person. Then I updated my blog at https://gloria0817.blogspot.com with that by putting a slightly different photo of the same sketch on it also. Then decided to paint this sketch today and add it to this blog with different photo of it. So, you viewers can see the preliminary drawing and also the painted sketch. I have not decided on a name for this sketch but am leaning toward the name "Aristocrat". I realize the PETA crazies will probably have a hissy fit, but oh well. I am not a PETA supporter and think minks are great.

The pencil drawing I drew first of this idea:
