#paints

I went to a witch market a few days ago and there was a stall run by an amazing woman who makes her own paints from natural materials. Anyone who knows me knows that if I was a dragon, my hoard would be of colours/paints/pigments. And so, inevitably, I bought this dinky little tin from her. The brownish paints are made from different kinds of soil, all local to where she lives. The black is from charcoal that she makes. The blue is from Japanese indigo plants she grows in her garden. The tin also has some sticks of charcoal, a piece of chalk from the hill she lives on, a pencil, a brush, and a shell to put water in. The paints are in acorn shells!
