  • Anyone can make mordants and adjuncts, which are metallic salts.

    A mordant is applied before the dye while an adjunct is applied after, and can drastically change the colour.

    You just have to toss some raw steel wool into a jar of vinegar (I use cleaning vinegar because it’s twice as strong as food-vinegar.) Or old copper bits (I use broken speaker wire I get for free from the second hand store.) If you suspend the copper over the vinegar in a jar and leave it in a warm place, it will develop verdigris which you can use as a pigment on its own.
