en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varnish

There are a number of types of varnish!
Shellac originated from shell-lac, an emulsion from a type of insect!

"Shellac is a very widely used single-component resin varnish that is alcohol-soluble. It is not used for outdoor surfaces or where it will come into repeated contact with water, such as around a sink or bathtub. The source of shellac resin is a brittle or flaky secretion of the female lac insect, Kerria lacca, found in the forests of Assam and Thailand and harvested from the bark of the trees where she deposits it to provide a sticky hold on the trunk."

Shellac is the primary binder in india inks. (This name being a misnomer, a silk road era sourcing nomenclature of a product which originated from china. Known in other places as 'chinese ink.')

Non toxic india inks are colloquially considered safe to use for tattooing! Is it true? How many tattoos contain bugs resin?

Can you eat shellac?
You can eat most things if you try!
...but generally, it is not great to eat varnishes.

13. what is your favorite kind of weather?

This india ink is not as thick as some, and feathers on thin paper. On this cardstock it looks okay!

India inks and acrylic inks both use pigment (vs dyes), for added lightfastness and permanence, as well as greatly increased archival lifespan when decently kept.
Shellac is typically in india inks, while acrylic inks use acrylic binders, I think.
Thick shellac ink would not be good in a fountain pen.

rev. 5 of wands
king of pentacles
Dodged strife and imagery of a bird, and agriculture themes repeated from previous draws, perhaps.

This is the relaxed laid back
goblin who incubates your melons so
they grow moldy or get unripe before you can 
open and enjoy them.

Is a large goblin fiercely biting the planet?

Or is a small goblin latched on to the edge of a strangely pooling fountain?
...

Goblin.

Goblin face, black grey lines. Greyscale wash over face. 
Staggered semicircle lines, ascending.

The coloration above the bluegreen circle and head was done on the back of the paper, and washed with distilled water.
