Sharing About Making Your Own Paints

 I don't have much to say...the world is in chaos, but I'm still holding out for peace and love. And now is a good time to be creative not so much to sell, but to get out your head.

Natural Earth Paints has a resource library that tells you how to make art supplies using their pigment minerals. They also have craft section

I'm planning to get what I need to make ink, I haven't bought any in a very long time because ink isn't exactly friendly. 

Any who here is the link https://naturalearthpaint.com/blogs/blog/tagged/recipes.

May you all have a peaceful week!

Love to all,

Dolores

Happy Autumn!

Happy Fall Everyone!

It's my favorite time of the year and with October comes Halloween. Many homes in our area are set up for Halloween, some being more elaborate than Christmas. I only do pumpkins, which by the way please don't bleach your pumpkins or paint them if you're going to leave them outdoors; the wildlife also loves pumpkins, squirrels, chipmunks and deer if you have them in your area. They can get very sick and die from eating bleached pumpkins or pumpkins with acrylic paint on it. I even found out that the fake webbing we use outdoors can catch small birds.


Anyway, it's my favorite time of year!
 Natures fashion show of yellows, reds and orange, with a touch of brown,
Windy days and dropping temps (ha, summer still won't let go here!)
Time for baggy sweaters and hoodies!
Socks...oh my.... Socks, warm fuzzy socks, best thing ever!
Apples and apple cider, along with a few hot chocolates.
Long rides for leaf peeping or just a walk thru a park, make sure you look up to see the color,
look down so you can scatter the leaves that have fallen.
It's my favorite time of the year!

Here are some links to pumpkin recipes to enjoy!



May you enjoy this fall!
Hugs,
Dolores

 I have been in search for a few years now on how to make ink. I've taken out books specifically about ink making. All very interesting,...
