This book and its spirit take that message one step further and say that anything you can think to make your work \u003ci\u003efrom\u003c\/i\u003e also counts.\" --Jon Klassen, Caldecott Medal winner\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat colors might await in a leafy forest, a berry-stained back alley, a seaweedy beach, or even the dark corners of an ordinary fridge? With this book as a guide, curious young wizards can make natural confetti, unlock the hidden color power inside a leaf, and craft a paintbrush wand. They'll brew magic potions from beets and acorn caps to produce their own colors, from the darkest black to the palest pink to invisible ink, then share their discoveries with friends, family, and the whole color-hungry human race. With whimsy and infectious enthusiasm, master ink maker Jason Logan explains the science of color while presenting \"quests,\" recipes, and hands-on activities using materials kids can find in their own homes and neighborhoods. Featuring both photographs and the author's own gorgeous homemade-ink illustrations, \u003ci\u003eHow to Be a Color Wizard\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal blend of art and science--plus a little bit of magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Logan \u003c\/b\u003eis the founder of the Toronto Ink Company (maker of ink for Margaret Atwood, Yoko Ono, Michael Ondaatje, and Harley-Davidson).
