Are you often hungry when looking for rocks?

Ah no, the biscuit tins are a separate collection. Some day I plan on turning them into tiny guitars and ukuleles.

That's awesome! Shamelessly plugging my other community here, because I'd love to see those when they're done, !Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today

Amazing, I actually do plan on making my own pigments and paints too! I just got a cast iron mortar and pestle to grind up some natural mica I got from canada last year.

Nice. That would be sweet to see, too. You just gave me the idea to post about paint making with earth pigments.
