Earth pigments?

(1/3) > >>

sleek:
I'd love to have a thread on here that demonstrates extensively how to make all the earth pigments,  the paints, the dyes, and their uses. If anyone has methods they use, please share it here. My goal is to make a sticky out of this.

bjrogg:
I'd be interested in this to.

backwoodsguy:
I too would  interested in a tutorial on what to do with the two colored rocks I received from Ed Brooks's give away Sept. 17th "Small box of goodies to give away". So far, the sinew has been processed and two arrowheads have been made but I'm not sure how to powder the rocks. Hammer? File? Another rock?

mullet:
I've used red clay after I sifted it through a .200 sieve and then mixed it with hide glue. Did the same thing with charcoal, too.

Russ:
Rock powder,  small amount of water and eggs
