Wstanley, I’m definitely interested. I’ll send you a PM. Does thy Ochre cause cancer since it’s from California, it’s has to come with a proposition 65 warning I’m sure

Blue is a hard color to get to stay blue. Sometimes you can bleed copper for a tealish blue. The best natural blue that I’ve been able to do comes from a coast mineral called vivianite(sp?), it’s a type of hydrated iron phosphate (I think) the only thing is one batch of blue will be a noticeably different shade. Even if it’s gathered in the same spot. So I like to either make a large batch or just mix the old with the new, which is usually what ends up happening bc I swear I never make enough.
