a recipe for pokeweed paint
---...---important note - pokeweed berries are poisonous to eat.
try not to get pokeweed juice on your skin, either. it can be irritating.
supplies
pokeweed berries
mortar & pestle
clay slip (white or red)
guidelines
choose a whitish clay slip if you want a lighter color.
red clay slip will give a reddish tone.
you can use frozen or fresh berries.
grind them in a mortar & pestle. save the seeds. (do not eat them.)
pour off the juice, let it evaporate a bit, and add a little clay slip.
the paint will be ruined if it gets wet, but otherwise colors stay fairly vivid for at least a few weeks.
