Good Morning,
Normally when making a jin on a tree with a white/grey bark I would normally add a drop of black ink to the lime sulphur to reduce the whiteness.. On cedars and other similiar trees which have a red bark this would not be desirable. I was wondering what I could add..ochre sprongs to mind but not sure where to source it.

Re: Making A Jin
How about henna (used to make non perment tattoos think India) usually available at chemists, shops selling Indian style clothing and gifts and also some naturalist shops (hippie shops)
Henna comes in a nice reddish brown and is all natural, lasts on your skin untill your skin peels so I imagine would last a while on a tree,
