Waterbased Shellac Solution

Shellac is a natural resin made by asian insects, this resin is soluble in alcohol. However our solution is special since the shellac here is dissolved in water. This unique product has many uses: as a non toxic light varnish or pastel, charcola or graphite fixative, but, most of all, we recommend you to use it as a binder with Aqua-dispersions or dry pigments to create permanent water based inks. These inks will carry the "organic" richness and depth of this natural resin. This will be very different form the finishes we normally see on acrylic inks for example :
