Our trip was a success! We had loads of fun and I came back with a bucketful of local rocks and minerals to be made into unique hand ground paints. We even got to see some interesting wildlife, several deer, grey squirrels, and even a bald eagle! I did not remember to put on sunscreen, so I am unfortunately lobster red right now, and so tired! The mining field is roughly 37 acres of dirt and must be searched VERY thoroughly to get a good variety of the best stones! I will have to sort through my treasures tomorrow to see exactly what I've ended up with. So exciting! :D https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImlothWatercolor . #watercolor #watercolour #handmade #Imlothmelui #naturalwatercolor #naturalwatercolors #paint #handmadewatercolors #handmadewatercolours #handmadewatercolor #watercolourpainting #handmadewatercolorpaint #rocks #pigment #backtonature #naturalpigments #arkansas #murfreesboro #craterofdiamonds #diamondhunting #volcanictuff #handgroundpaint #natural #minerals #etsy #diamondpark

Here's the olive green tuff finished! After levigating, drying, grinding and sifting the pigment once more, it seemed ready to mull. Removing the dried pigment layer from the plate I had poured it into was fun, it came away in big flakes like paper! The sifted pigment started off still a bit gritty on the mulling plate but quickly became much smoother under my muller. It has the same clay-like texture and low tinting properties of most earth greens, as expected, and a bit of texture on the paper after drying, although it doesn't really granulate. I have a few pans of this drying right now, time to move onto another mineral! . . . . https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImlothWatercolor https://www.artyah.com/seller/imlothmelui . . . #watercolor #watercolour #handmade #Imlothmelui #naturalwatercolor #naturalwatercolors #paint #handmadewatercolors #handmadewatercolor #imlothwatercolor #watercolourpainting #handmadewatercolorpaint #rocks #pigment #backtonature #naturalpigments #arkansas #murfreesboro #craterofdiamonds #diamondhunting #volcanictuff #handgroundpaint #natural #rockhunting #minerals #diamondpark
