We are gathering all our mini ecopod mistakes in one place. This is a year+ of paints that are cracked, too small, too large, dunked in watercolor media, too sticky or otherwise rejected by us as we fill palettes. 🙃

Over the next week or so we’ll bag these up into little pouches of accidental joy.

Thank you for putting words to what we all need to understand and value 🤎

My kids and I made this in April 2020 after a 🚲-powered, 😷-safe, rainbow scavenger hunt with my kids. I think of this often and it reminds we that we’re all more alike than not.

I ran outside to take photos of these palette lids more times than shown here.

Goodness. Natural cherry wood (or any wood for that matter) is stunning.

44 mini watercolor palettes will be back soon ✨

Please let me introduce 4 new colors! These are all natural soil mineral pigments we are adding to our suite this summer.
 
Azurite – I dream of blue earths in the wild. This color does not disappoint. It’s earthy and truly blue while delivering a rich, gray undertone. Azurite in a copper carbonate mineral forming in weathering zones (biogeochemically active areas) where copper is present.
 
Dwell is a blue-green micaceous mineral, celadonite, named for the French word for sea green - that, like all natural green earths, is subtle with unique behavior.
 
Glauconite is a natural iron-potassium phyllosilicate (layered silicate) mineral called glauconite. It is a part of the mica group and forms in shallow marine environments. When you see it inland (near Moab, Utah for example) – you are likely in the presence of a former inland sea!
 
Mazama is a strong, reddish-orange, iron-rich mineral pigment with added volcanic ash I was gifted long ago from a dear friend. The ash was deposited far from it’s origin in Oregon – in Idaho. This is 6,800-year-old Mount Mazama ash that inhabited the earth at the present-day location of Crater Lake. Wild.
 
I hope you enjoy these earthy mineral pigments as much as we do.

*it’s a lie - they’re not everlasting - but I did pour a lot of paint to make these 🌈

This is my favorite part about being my own boss - I get to play around and make things I think should exist in the world.
