I tried mixing the Daniel Smith water soluble inks for a couple of different blocks, includ
ing the crab and the pig. Salmon pink moves the crab persona further away from his ghost crab inspiration and closer to a flamingo, however.

I am continuing my quest for a relief ink that is water soluble, mixable with both colors and transparent medium, and dries permanent. I discovered the Daniel Smith water solubles just as they were discontinuing this product line.

So, does this little crab look pensive or contemplative? I have printed him to use on the cover of a small book, but am not sure who might want a pseudo ghost crab adorning their wall.
