Earth pigmant paints

(1/3) > >>

Jakesnyder:
I live in Pennsylvania and am trying to find some earth pigmants to make for painting some bows and arrows with. What are some in this area that are what the natives used?

Jakesnyder:
I know walnut hulls and charcoal. But what about like red and turquoise?

Pat B:
Red ocher is a natural pigment.  You can get different color pigments from Crazy Crow, a PA sponsor.

Trapper Rob:
Jake where are you from in PA?

mullet:
Go to a feed store and get some copper and iron nitrate. The copper will make blue/turqouis, and the iron reddish brown.
