trying something new with a piece of yellow Moroccan ochre from Kremer pigments. Drawing directly onto the paper with the stone. The stone feels very greasy. It probably has clay in it. Therefore, the drawn lines can be activated with water. Then I use self made water/acrylic inks, made with earth pigments. I use iron ore (bean ore collected by myself), moraine stone powder, manganese black and a mix of various hematites from Kremer pigments. The inks are easy to make. Just put a bit of pigment into a small jar and add some water and a few drops of gloss acrylic varnish or painting medium (or watercolor medium),. Stir, and the ink is ready to use with a brush or a reed pen or for pouring directly onto a surface. Up to now I don't know how long these inks will be good, so I make only small amounts at once. They need to be stirred up every time you want to use them. Now the painting has to dry one night, then the next layer can be added. #watercolorpainting #earthcolors #watercolorjourney #abstractart #abstractwatercolors #inkpainting #earthinks #inking #homemadeinks #ironpigments #ochre #kremerpigmente #moroccanochre #yellowochre #redochre #manganeseblack #tryingnewtechniques #acrylicinks #makingpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/Bytcd1KI0FM/?igshid=1k7o7g35n4b9h

Yesterday's #zucchininoodles. I made the #zucchini by spiraling it into long strands then salted it and drained to remove excess liquid. I also made crispy chicken by weighing down the chicken with a pot for maximum skin to pan contact. It was my first time cooking chicken on the stove top with weights on, and I haven't decided if I like this new technique. Everything did come together very quickly and dinner was ready in minutes. #tryingnewtechniques https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jFirPnOSm/?igshid=svnmlhhflq8c

Being adult sometimes sucks and cost a lot of effort to pretend you are somewhat functional. But finding little breaks now and then to just breathe and do something you like, well… that cost nothing 😊

I’ll never regret the path I chose
