The Black Walnut Collection is inspired by the sound of the wind passing through the trees, the wisdom gained from listening, and the beauty, joy, & love in beige, brown, & black. In the Nature Adventure Field kit you'll find handcrafted, natural, repurposed, and thoughtfully-curated tools and materials:
// Spool Book
A tiny handmade scroll style book on a vintage wooden thread spool to capture a tiny story. Wrapped in a piece of black walnut dyed fabric.
// Germantown Black Walnut Ink
A 10mL bottle of drawing ink for use with dip pens and brushes. Black walnut hulls for this small batch of ink were collected from Aunt Marjory's yard in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia.
// Black ♥ Walnut Stamp
A heart shaped stamp made from a black walnut. When cracked open, at the center of the black walnut is a heart shaped space where the walnut once grew. Works well with stamp pads or with a bit of black walnut ink on a sponge. To put a little ♥ wherever you may need/want/enjoy it!
// Pocket Flower Press
For nature collection on-the-go. Preserve that perfect little leaf, tiny flowers, or beautiful find for future use in nature art, visual journals, and mini-pressed flower projects! Made with rubber bands, wood cover plates, and recycled blotter paper and boards for pressing and drying plant material.
// Smooth Rock
For making ecoprint rubbings of leaves on paper, to hold between your fingers for an experience, or to add to your art altar as a beautiful, grounding nature treasure.

Watch how some of these materials were created in the Black Walnut episode of Indigo in Green. In this episode we take a visit to Aunt Marjory's in Germantown and say hello to her black walnut tree, make dye from the black walnut hulls, then create fabric for a Fibonacci quilt. Later join in on the ecoprint experiment fun and enjoy the last bits of the season with long shadows, listening for the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
