ohhhhh guess what?? this month’s GROUND BRIGHT pigment is CONDUCTOR BLUE. the first person i knew to share about making a copper blue was @torontoinkcompany, who blew the minds of so many of us pigment peeps with his copper blue ink recipe in his phenomenal & invaluable book, MAKE INK. AND….this month’s pigment contributors (there are three!) (making verdigris is a slow & careful ( & a bit toxic, yes) process!) are none other than @torontoinkcompany himself, + the brilliant copper alchemists @catalina.christensen , who has been formulating verdigris recipes for years, & @londonpigment, who had a long list of esoteric historical copper pigment recipes made with scrap copper culled from london streets & alleys. exciting, right?? the root of “conductor” is ‘conductor,’ meaning ‘to connect’ in latin —> CONDUCTOR BLUE connects you materially & energetically to these 3 important pigment artists, to the the streets where they forage, and... to the place they’ve chosen to direct their 22% donation, an organization that's fighting big copper mining to protect their lands & sacred sites (more on that to come!). lucy writes: "Verdigris is [...] a group of wiley, changeable copper compounds. [...] Verdigris gets bad press for being a colour that can darken or go brown with time if not treated accordingly -- this is precisely why I like it. It does what it wants. Its shape shifting colour (due to moisture, air or the presence of sulphur) is an exciting ephemeral prospect. It's also a basic pigment that can be made with simple mundane materials; a piece of scrap piping & salad vinegar. Anyone can make it. Any copper (or alloy) & ANY acid. (lactic, acetic, citric,). Add some extra bits, maybe a catalyst (salt) or a filler and neutraliser (chalk) or a few drops of ammonia for a mad blue. Conductor blue is apt: four batches of copper acetate from various locations, made from various starting materials, in one SUPER BATCH!" these pics are all from @londonpigment (except1st & 3rd by me). the green in CB in linseed oil!
