Bullock's Iron Gall Ink

Bullock's Iron Gall Ink is now available at Lore, in the The New Amsterdam Market HEADQUARTERS at Manhattan's South Street Seaport, 224 Front Street.

This handmade water-soluble ink is based on historic recipes, and includes gall nuts from Aleppo and iron sulfate in a gum arabic base. It is available in 1/2 oz., 1 oz., and 2 oz. bottles.

At Lore, owner Makalé Faber-Cullen's background and education in anthropology informs her selection of products that are based on raw materials and timeless design. From equipment for the kitchen, to sewing supplies from France's last producer of hand-made thread, to Bullock's Iron Gall Ink and Margaret Krug's Indigo Ink, Lore offers a very unique and educational shopping experience for the customer who wants something better than what's available at Bed Bath & Beyond.

My thanks to Makalé and Margaret for their enthusiasm for Bullock's Iron Gall Ink.

On a related note, the Bullock Online website is oh so slowly coming along. I just added a page for the ink, and will link to PayPal. All this shouldn't be such trial and error, but the hosting service I use is problematic. Nonetheless, I am learning to navigate the strange ways of their software. I often end up with results I don't want, but I make improvements the next time round.

Now, if I can only find the time to paint.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
