A plastic, segmented container with different sections holding watercolour paints in various colours.

It took weeks of extracting, reacting, waiting, grinding and binding - but I finally have a full palette to last me years.

From the first column, going down:

  1. Quartz and Iron oxide, blueberries, recovered green dye

  2. Amethyst and agate, avocado, birch bark

  3. Iron oxide, cranberries

  4. Red Cabbage

  5. Beets, kyanite, tumeric

  6. Recovered neon green dye and spinach, red roses

It would be interesting to see the whole process of making these. What else do you need besides the pigments?

I post different parts of my process here from time to time, when I remember to take pictures. Here's a post I made a while ago with recipes and instructions if you'd like to know more: https://lemmy.today/post/44767112
