Friends, my stock of these two books is running very low and it will be a month or two before I can re-print. If you wanted either before the end of the year, I recommend buying now so you're not caught out when they go temporarily out of print. Available here: majnouna.com/shop/books/

Later this month I'll be doing a demo at the University of Sheffield that can also be attended online:

"We are thrilled that Joumana Medlej - artist, author, and educator - will join us for a demonstration of ink-making based on traditional recipes.... The demo/talk will focus on the challenges that come up in the process of translation and how actually making the inks can help to understand and translate the texts."

I cut down a bunch of pokeweed, today, and couldn't resist taking all the berries to make ink.

I regret that I didn't take any in-progress photos, but I was busy trying to make sure I didn't turn the whole kitchen fuchsia. (We rent.)

I filled half a standard pickle jar with juice that I squeezed (with gloves on) through a tea towel, and added a pinch of salt and some alcohol. Tomorrow, I will add a bit of gum arabic, and hopefully I'll have usable ink!

A Walk with the Rocky Mountain Land Library

I had the pleasure to spend May 4th walking and workshoping in Globeville, with the Rocky Mountain Land Library; a 501c3 nonprofit co-founded by Jeff Lee and Ann Marie Martin. Two long-time employees of the iconic Tattered Cover Bookstore. Their “ultimate vision is to open Buffalo Peaks Ranch as a year-round, residential retreat center and library, while hosting additional programs and outreach through our Metro Denver locations.”

The Globeville location is one of three locations they have. I visited their Waterton Canyon branch on one of the early High Line Canal walks, with Chris Englert aka “the Walking Traveler”. Last year I visited their location on the South Platte in Fairplay, to attend Re/Call “a curated art and communal experience that celebrates the natural environment…the intersection of art and nature…the ethereal and tangible.” The Globeville branch is their current/main book storage/processing location. It also has a special ‘Walking and Trails’ collection/room.

Our group, led by Ann Marie, spent the first part of the morning walking along the South Platte. After foraging for ink-making feedstock, we spent the next few hours experimenting with: charcoal, terra-cotta, willow-flowers and more. Do you even know how to mordant..? I didn’t before, but I do now!

On our walk we encountered a rich urban ecology of flora/fauna: dicots, wild-rose and willows. Birds of prey, coyote tracks and hooded merganser ducks. We even saw signs of beavers rewilding.

As I read that day, Wendell Berry writes

“Think of the genius of the animals,

every one truly what it is:

gnat, fox, minnow, swallow, each made

of light and luminous within itself.

They know (better than we do) how

to live in the places where they live.

And so I would like to be a true

human being, dear reader – a choice

not altogether possible now.

But this is what I’m for, the side

I’m on”
