I bought a rock tumbler specifically for grinding down minerals for pigments. I didn’t expect it to come with a big bag of cool rocks and all the stuff to tumble. I know I know - the first hit is always free.

The clear one is just a broken piece of glass I tossed in to see what happened. What happened was it got smooth.

    Cool rocks!

    It’s super cool that you make your own pigments. What do you use them in? Do you post about them and your work with them somewhere? I’d love to read about it.

      Thanks, and thank you for the interest. It’s loads of work for not a lot of reward, but I enjoy the process. !Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today is one of my other communities where I post about the art side.

      I occasionally put stuff up on !artshare@lemmy.world but so far nothing with my own pigments. If I do anything worth sharing I’ll talk about it in the art alchemist guild.
