Re: Making Ocre
We like Ceres, @tyme
Took our oldest there when he was 3 or 4 but haven’t been back since. It’s a bit of trip for us. I go collect myself and then
I use a one of those kitchen bowls that comes with the slammer lol
What’s that thing called

Re: Making Ocre
Yep, glad it works @ArraDreaming .
And yes, glad you've added that to Arra's dictionary - mortar and pestle 🙂
From what I remember, I think I learnt the name of that when I was in high school. It was either in science or food tech lol

@ArraDreaming and to share with all, Ochre is a natural element made from sand and clay, and has the earth's natural pigment, the earthy colours and depending where you collect it. Point being it's not made by us, mother earth made this and it's traditionally used in ceremony, song and dance.
