Eco-Art
I recently ordered your milk paint and have been using it for art. It is easy to mix, use, and clean up, and the colors are wonderful! I purchased the basic bright red, blue, yellow ochre, black and white and have mixed the other colors I need.
Mother Earth Heals is a blog I write that includes information about eco-friendly products. I just posted a blog about the use of your product in my art: "Eco-Art: Wow! I have been having so much fun painting with my new eco-friendly paint on eco-friendly paper!" http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=309&i=400.
I've been using it on Rhimax paper, which is 100% recycled, eco-friendly, and porous--just right for the milk paint! From their brochure: "Durable and absorbent, it's a great solution for banners, posters and torn paper designs, as well as protecting surfaces during craft projects...use as a drop cloth...it absorbs paint and prevents bleed-through." www.rhimax.net.
I'm envisioning the two companies, Real Milk Paint Co. and Rhimax, promoting each other's products as eco-friendly alternatives to toxic paints and plastics.
Thank you again so much for a fantastic, eco-friendly product!
Sincerely, --Liora Leah.
Artist William Skrips says, "Re-using discards and found objects has always had an appeal to me. Not only do I have a penchant
for collecting things, but the gratification that comes from giving reclaimed material new life is unique." He often uses
Real Milk Paint in his original and eclectic art pieces. See more of William's unique style in his online gallery.
We paint expressive, original art on conventional wood furniture.
We scratch everything on old, forgotten furniture and create a striking, novel design that evocatively reflects your spirit and personal style.
Our primary medium is milk paint, or casein, an eco-friendly substance comprising milk, lime, and earth pigments. Milk paint colors are penetrating and luminous; they unleash a mystical, exalted presence to the art that is both earthy and ethereal, ancient and enduring.
Scratch Everything is Betsey Van Horn and Val Vasquez.
Handmade Bamboo Didgeridoos
Dear Real Milk Paint Guys,
Here's the picture I promised you of three of my handmade bamboo didgeridoos. I found that tung oil is the absolute best product available for the inner bore of these instruments
to keep moisture from soaking into the wood and causing possible splitting issues. It's also non-toxic which is a must in these instruments that are in contact with one's mouth. I also usually give their outsides a light coat of tung oil before final buffing.
Thanks for making this unadulterated product available!
