Dyeing tags

I began with walnut ink, but I didn't like the chemistry -- it turned the tags into a pinkish brown that made me shudder. So I went back to my old standby: instant coffee. Perfect.


I also tried watercolours; I loaded the brush and flicked on the paint then blotted the tags dry. This method is touch and go, but it works.
