"I had a pair of panty-hose". Yep, we've all been there.

😭😭😭😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This video is nuts

Hahahaha! Very punny
Bilbo Baggins stop
This pun is p u n ishment.
All y’all need to go home
Gotcha :D
Peter's the kind of guy who I'd run into once and then have on speed dial for the rest of my life.
Peter Draints.
Hi peter
Ahh yes, I love calm days full of farting around on the farm.
I've done some research and I'm pretty sure it is physically impossible to not like Peter. Who could dislike a man so wholesome and pure?
Haha, yes!
This reminds me of a book I read. Where this one girl’s grandfather kept trying to make liquor out of pecans. Now matter how much he tried he just could not get the liquor to taste like pecans. He did everything, he aged it in different wooden containers, he used different types of pecans. But everything he did ended in failure, it was just sadness all around. But he didn’t just make pecan liquor, he also investigated plants. Eventually he found a new plant and named it after his granddaughter because he tasted the pecan liquor with him.
So the moral of the story is
Dont make pecan liquor
Make walnut ink
That was calpurnia tate, right?
coloredglass I believe so! I read it over the summer in fourth grade I believe.
MY GIRL CALPURNIA
ugh i loved that book when i was a kid
Also tried to make ink with blackberries. Turned out pretty interesting and it is still good after...4 Months in my cupboard? Amazing how the vinegar keeps it from rotting. It is also funny, because it looks red...you write/draw red and then it slowly turns violet until it gets to a nearly black when it is completly dry....
Nonorama can you explain how you made it? Would be so awesome
Ella Umbrella I found some "children crafting tutorials" about ink on TH-cam and also used some knowledge about general Ink making from the middle ages. There are so many different ways to get results. I basically squished the blackberries through a fine screen, then mixed the clear juice with 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar (I really can't give measurements... I have like... a bit more than a usual small inkjar) and me personally, I mixed in a bit of gum arrabicum with a few drops of water for texture..... I realize I could make a whole video about this...
Nonorama you should!!
i made ink out of my dogs period
Veretigo VI sexy
"This is the way it should be done. If you don't do it this way, you might even get ketchup"... I wish.
Can't believe you bought new pots for making ink but not for cooking :)
Priorities.
Pfffft life is too short for wasting time buying ingredients, cooking them, and then spending a fraction of the time it took to do all that to eat the food, and then 6 times as long to clean up the mess you made. Thats a fools game.
Surely we can be sustained on a diet of poptarts and ramen?
The ending was too unexpected. One of the best plot twists since Frozen for sure.
tomajortom haha frozen didn't have a plot twist?
Colour Streak Watch again...
Plot twist or not, Frozen was not a good movie
Stephen Redmond Have you ever heard a thing called sarcasm?
I make walnut stain for dipping my baskets in after I make them. Just to add one more recipe to the mix...I just throw the whole thing in the pot, no cutting or prepping. Heat to a nice boil, cover and turn the flame off to let it soak overnight. Next day start simmering it down to the strength you want, removing nuts as the water level goes below them. Let it cool when it the strength you want, then strain through cheese cloth and hose. I add vinegar, because it helps with stain not washing out. You can restrain if mold develops. It lasts as long as you still have it unused. Love what you did, and plan to make some with my dried husk from a couple years ago. That is another thing you can do, dry the husk , and save them for whenever you want to make ink again.
That's really cool!
*Azuremuse* ...you can gather extra walnut husk and dry/dehydrate them for future use.
I read to use Denatured Alcohol.. I used it , then used just regular alcohol, they seemed about the same. I had one jar I didn't put any preservative.. It smelled sooo bad. I wonder if I could pressure can the ink in the same manner I would pressure can berries , etc...
Peter, make sure you get rid of the maggots properly, because they WILL hatch and end up all over your house as flies (for us it was the Australian blowfly). Speaking from experience here! :-O
We have a walnut tree but don't think I'll be trying this lol. Great painting btw!
Boiling them alive would prevent that no?
Shillier damn
that's hardcore.
Shillier
and then you could eat them 😁
Shillier they where in the nuts too
So, i did (almost) the same thing when I was about ten. I decided that I wanted some walnuts so I could dry them out, crack them open, and eat them. But when I had found out about the juice that came from the husks, I was like: woah, paint! So i spent most of my time outside, scraping the husks off of the nut with my bare hands and a semi sharp piece of scrap tile, and wringing them out as much as possible. Back then I didn't know of the stains it caused. So, after making almost a pint of "paint", i started doodling in a 2x4 piece of wood. Then grandmomma and momma called me in for dinner, and I came to the door.
Momma: what on earth is on your hands?!
Me: walnut juice.
Grandmomma: you realize that stains your hands, right?
Me: oh... but it makes paint...
Momma: come on in, wash your hands.
My hands and most of my front arms were covered with light brown stains for two months. My teachers were confused.
Teacher: what is all that on your hands?
Me: ...walnut juice...
I explained this to all of my teachers. The mean little jerks I went to school with thought I had a disease, so I had a lot of fun getting my revenge by chasing them around at recess. But it was worth it to draw on that 2x4.

Hey, neat video! From experience, you'll get a better yield of ink if you let your walnuts ferment and turn completly black before boiling the husks. You can just store the walnuts in a dry place for about a week or two and that should be good. I've found that with this sort of ink, you can boil it to a thick paste and then dry it into a solid in the oven on low heat. Then you can grind the ink powder and experiment with different concentrations until you find a ratio that works best for your needs. I've found that 0.35g of ink powder to 15ml water works pretty well in a medium nib fountain pen. I'm thrilled to see you making your own ink! I find these sort of things quite interesting, that is taking something from nature and making it into something new. Have you considered pokeberry ink? If you're in the NC/VA region, you should be able to find something called pokeweed. It grows purple berries that if crushed have a magenta juice.
This video is helping heal my broken heart. TY
I officially love you more than I love Bob Ross.
8:22 looks like a kid who broke his favorite toy
Oh my god Peter has such a sweet smile. I'm in tears, he's such a sweetheart.
No Peter I'm lazy.
yeah just buy ink
You should try to make oak gall ink too, it has a similar color
That intro made me really happy tbh, THANKS FOR THAT
I laugh every time I listen to Peter say,"...I was out and about, farting around on the farm."
Draw on a pumpkin for Halloween :)
hmetalmosh nah
use woodburner on a pumpkin?
I've never made ink before, but I have made my own watercolor paints using premade pigments. It occurred to me one day that pigments are just ground up dried stuff and started collecting leaves and things to grind up and make into paint.....some day, I'll make a video of it. You've made me wonder if I could apply the same concept to ink, though. Wonder what I could boil in order to draw with....hmmmmmmmm.
Basically, you will make a "tea" out of this leaves, and tea is used as an ink too, so yeah, it will work
Fellow Appalachian resident here... Just the other day I was thinking about the walnut trees that were in my old neighborhood and how I wish I still had them around me! I knew there was more to this nut than meets the eye.
What a beautiful farm, Peter; loved everything you filmed there!!! I've been curious about walnut ink for quite a while, so I'm delighted to learn from your video!!! Thanks for documenting the process in such an amazing way that only Peter can do!!! Wonderful drawing/painting at the end 🌳🌼🍂🍃 All the best, Peter. 💟
Besides the fact that you miraculously muddled your way through DIY creation of, of all things, walnut ink, the other impressive thing in this video is your colourful sweater. It is just fantastic.
You could try to make iron oak gall ink!? Its a very nice ink, it turns black while drying:)
How would you do that?
@@virginiajaquez7238 with pine trees
All of your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch. It'd ve awesome if i've had a friend like you. Love this channel.
Why is he so damn attractive to me 😭
lol
Same tho
He's Daddy Draws 😩
Same
Yeap
Ends the video with the beginning of a conversation.. i love you Peter
Sometimes I don't even watch your videos. I just let them play to let your voice soothe my ears as I draw my own art.
Silly pumpkin head you can never talk too much! Love your art and humour 🤠
I always wanted to watch this video, finally I did! Thank you past Peter, I enjoyed it!
Wow!! That is amazing!
And interesting about the walnuts, I had no idea about their fruit.
Cool.
super chill super sweet super handsome
Everything about this video and you just made me so happy. Thanks, I needed that :)
I love that painting literally awesome also great hair
I haven't watched your videos in quite a while, and I'm not sure why because this video was amazing! It was informative, researched, funny, the perfect amount of random, and well formatted!
I think you can also darken your hair colour with the leaves of the tree
Walnuts are amazing, really
Gorgeous color!
This video made my night it was perfect to end the night with thank you
You make me miss Tennessee with that country, the mountains, and that Food Lion bag! 🦁
That’s where I happen to be from ☺️
Awesome, thanks a million I love they ink crystals also.
Peters drawings are really cool, I like them, nothing is ordinary about his work. His work looks like cloud formations of gears and smoke of a machine, to me.
This is awesome!!! I've never made walnut ink but I've made poke berry ink. Nature gives us everything we need :-)
i love this. i used to have a chore of picking up the walnuts from 5 trees growing up i wish i knew about walnut ink back then. great stuff. thanks for showing us.
a “prawing” lol
I appreciate you very much, Peter.
i love how peter is open to experimentation
great minds think alike ... I have a few quarts of walnut ink I made a few years ago..I love it
I love him haha he seems like a fun person to hang out with or date haha. His art is super cool
That's so funny you uploaded a video of this today because the other day i was looking at videos on how to process black walnuts to eat! There is a black walnut tree somewhere around near my house. One time a squirrel hoarded one in a small opening under the steps to my house. Pokeweed is very stain-y also, it gives a purplish pink dye.
Your a great artist
Lukas Draws no your are buddy
Peter Draws thanks bro😄
That kiss he blew at the end made me smile so hard. That was adorable. 😍
Thank you I loved this video it made me feel better while I was watching it! I've had a bad day I'm extremely depressed and this really helped (temporarily but still it helped)
I just wanna to hang out with Peter early in the morning, that's what i want to do with my life
I love the commentary because it's genuine and wasn't practiced, just put in
I live in West Virginia. My grandpa would put tons of walnuts in buckets, simply so he could mow the lawn. They’d sit in there for weeks, and eventually turn MIDNIGHT black. The water was just so stain-y! I’d play in it and stain patterns on my skin, I’d get sticks and make patterns on the concrete. I even dipped a cat’s paw in it once 😳 Walnuts were magical to me in my childhood lol! They were, however, the bane of my mother’s existence 😂😂 She would get so mad at me!
that was awsome ive often thought of doing that, black walnut husk tincture is really good 4 you too i took it once to get over a flew thing
My elementary school used to have a walnut tree above the sand box and these gross fruits would get in the sandbox. I never knew what they were until now
that place is so beautiful
I'm intrigued
“...and stapled them to a couple door frames i had sitting around my apartment.”
*whY?? where?? huh??*
I just finished watching the video and it was amazing
If stainy wasn't a word before, it is now! Thanks for the little tour of that beaUtiful farm, it explains much of your chilled coolness. My relatives grew almonds in Dayton California since 1863, one of Blue Diamond Consortium's oldest growers. They had both English and Black Walnuts growing around their vast farmland and I remember getting ringworm from a neglected horse's head at a farm across from my Aunt's store (now long gone) in Herlong California. First thing my grandparents told me to do was go out and pick some of their Black Walnuts so they could bleed the husks for 'Green Black Walnut Juice' (yes that's a thing), and rub it on the ringworm. It worked! I know a little about those blasted magots too, they are what ruins the nutmeats in our precious walnuts dangit. I might be an LA city gal but think fondly of my times on that farm with good honest down to earth people and natural beauty. It was how I decompressed.
beautiful thank you for sharing
You talented man you. Sends me to another dimension.
That's what I call dedication.
great job Peter💯
Lol....youre so amazingly weird and I love it. You're such a great artist and I really enjoy your videos. Awesome job!!!
Incredibly beautiful intro Peter!
The monster box has appeared again.
Thats cool. You should try some organic dying on cloth. Just place leaves flowers sticks along cloth roll it up tie the roll amd steam it. Its reelly cool.
I have a walnut tree outside my house and I'm listening to them fall currently lol I definitely wanna try making ink out of them now.....
Thank you! Thank you!
dude peter this is so fascinating!
I nominate "how you doin'" for the position of new Peter Draws video closer. "Good bye, bye" has had it's time in the sun, it is time for new and younger closers to make their mark :P
5:38
Everything about this was adorable
was waiting for a good video of yours to start eating my sugar cookie. I was halfway done with it when you started discussing and showing close-up shots of maggots :P
Fun Fact! the science behind the similarities between the partially rotted fruit and the cooked fruit is actually pretty simple. There are several different factors that can influence the rate of chemical reactions, whether it makes them slower or faster. One of these is heat. If it is colder, it will react more slowly, if it is hotter, it will react faster. Since rotting fruit is really just a series of chemical reactions, by boiling the fruit you are pretty much just making is rot extra fast, which is why they have the same colour.
Your voice is so calming
That.....is.... AWESOME! That is so cool my god I wanna do that now, watching you just inspires me to do different things.
Beautiful place and man.
Well this video was a roller coaster haha, but if I could find a walnut tree I do think I'd give it a shot! Thanks for the fun video :D
Seriously? You’re like Bob Ross’ kooky cousin and it’s kinda awesome. I love it
Peter you are just amazing :)
Peter, I could listen to you all day. Your commentaries are interesting and I really enjoy your videos. Oh, and you're a goofball. :D
His voice is so calming
I love this video and this guy!
@Peter Draws :D :D you are my spiritual animal
I love you. I love your art.
That is so coool you are a doctor!
I like that hoodie a lot
I love the elephant. Elephants are my favorite animal.!
Now you can make your own paper to go with that ink. You'll never need the art store again!
The land you live on is so amazing
Cool idea! I'm allergic to walnuts but I'm sure there is something else "natural" I can make ink or paint from. Thanks for the video!
Aww your brush broke! Man this vid was awesome!
