Don shared a lot of technical information about the inks and the ways different papers reacted to them.  It was an inspiring day, with a lot of fun and many ideas for how I can use this method of working with paper and ink.  I have used FW inks to create book covers for many years, but Don had many methods which result in very rich and dense pages.  I am so glad I was able to participate in this afternoon.

Yesterday I took a workshop in staining papers with FW inks from Don Voss at the Fuller Lodge Art Center in Los Alamos. This is a sample of the pages I made.
