Living in the striped house on the Detroit prairie. Putting our life onto screens to print. Our bees, trees, medicinal herbs, bike tires, shovels and big ideas. Using only water base inks and constantly perfecting our homemade waste-water filtering system, so we don't add to the endless abuse of water. Printing on organic cotton and recycled polyester whenever posssible. Using local (mostly our own) beeswax, growing and gathering herbs for our salve. Collecting roots for our tea. Always rethinking our place within Detroit, this inspiring city, as well as within our own garden and community. Growing food and children. Looking to the sky. Giving and receiving, breathing, breathing.
We sell our hand made goods at some local stores (see "Retail Locations"), as well as fairs and events that interest us, like beekeeping conferences. See "Events" for upcoming opportunities to buy Inkinbloom items at a lower price. You can make purchases on this website via paypal and have the items shipped to you, or you can call us and drop by to shop at the house.

Their salves are the BEST!
I discovered Ink in Bloom's 'Farnsworth Healing Salve' when a friend sent me a welcome goody bag (I'm new to Detroit). I am a stickler about putting only natural ingredients onto my skin and into my body and you can't get more natural than this cream and it works like a charm. Plus, Kinga harvests a lot (all?) the products out her backdoor. She's a beekeeper and even uses her own beeswax!
And she is so conscious -- get this, a mother who was breast feeding contacted Kinga as she needed a salve for her sore and cracked breasts. But she was concerned about the comfrey in it being passed onto her nursing baby. So Kinga comes up with a formula specifically comfrey-free and calling it Mother's Salve (or something like that). I love this woman and her products! The screening products look fabulous too.
