    I watch a woman who sometimes uses stone to make makeup. She wears masks when shes grinding yhe stone dust. Something to consider? I think the dust can get into your lungs.

    Yes especially silica and esbestos can be in rocks which embeds in your lungs. Masking is very important.

    Do you know there’s a lot of other mediums 🎨🖌you can make from scratch, not only watercolour: you can make paint from many different natural things (I actually wrote a book with 50 paint recipes 🌈😊 in French) Beware, it’s important to wear a mask and gloves when working with some matters. Natural doesn’t necessary means harmless!! 🚨🚨🚨

    This is really lovely and something I have wanted to explore, at the moment I'm experimenting with plant dyes on fabric. Caro please look into to safety aspect of grinding the rocks, I think you are meant to wear a mask whilst doing it. Jonna Jinton on here also uses earth pigments, if you haven't come across her before.

    that store with all the pigments is great, dangerous place to go when you have extra money lol it is very meditative grinding and making your own pigments. havent down it since high school, just dont have the space but i guess i could go outside like you did 😀 and thank you for mentioning the legal part of collecting! there are places in many countries, that you cannot take anything that would make a pigment, either due to religious reasons, safety reasons (wouldnt want to collect anything nuclear)or land ownership

I've been a pigment and paint fanatic for many years and am happy to see you finding so much joy in this very peaceful, meditative, and interesting activity. I did want to point out that I am pretty sure that French Ochre and Any of the ochres really doesn't have lead in it. There might be some very tiny trace amounts, depending on exactly where the rocks or dirt came from, but this is the first time I've ever heard this.

    So so beautiful Caro 😍 Looking forward to see more of your colours :)) When they are dry, what you'll paint with them... 🥰💚 I want to share a feeling: I am always so irritated, that in EN for "earth" and "loose soil" the word "dirt" is used. Maybe it's because I am a GE native speaker, so for me, the word "dirt" relates more to gutter, debris, filth,... hearing it for "earth", always makes my gut cramp a little and my neck hair stand up🙈💚Anybody else feeling the same way?😅🙋🏻‍♀

    I was traumatized seeing this video yesterday so kept on thinking about it as I woke up.. it started so good and I thoght it must be something interesting I could add to my art relater playlist but then it was bringing me in terror more and more! Good it was mentioned that it's a the tutorial but it should better be mentioned right in the beginning or even in the title, not after I had been thinking in terror 'why she's doing that?? Please don't!' It starts so beautifully in nature, but then it gets to that shop full of PLASTIC 🙀 isn't it just another way of consumption?? Just because 'natural paints' thing became popular .. you would reuse the plastic, but what about other people?? And will most of them just do crazy stuff to all those precisious stones without researching it well ~ so it's just wasting of Earth's resources! It's not about helping the Earth, it's another toy for rich kids.. I have one ready natural pigment now from Russia and they sell pigments in jars and jar can really be reused, I do need such jars always. And here I see they sell small amount of stones in plastic bags.... I would like of course to grind rocks and make my own pigments and mix my own paints. But I felt for myself that it's important to try ready made paints first, to know their consistency, to see difference between various paints. It's serious process, and even though I love experimenting and do stuff just by feeling, there are things that really need to be seriously researched before doing. I could not watch till the end.. It's just sad to see how many people would leave praising comments because video is done beautifully looking. There's no so much comments on videos of real process of making pigments, because it does not look so pretty ~ with flowers on the table etc. But I think these videos are watched by real artists and appreciated. There's nothing wrong with prety looking atmosphere in making video. But it's sad that people see only outside thing and praise it. And many pretty girls who just want attention posting pretty videos can think to do the same without doing proper research on subject, even though it's said here it's not a tutorial.
