The Plan: Make blue paint...and maybe more
starting off with a red cabbage!!
absolutely amazing
my son is chopping it up for me
looks pretty cool
throw it all into a pot
add water
when I watched other videos they did this....to check progress?
the color looks great
after 30 minutes of simmering
all done cooking...I don't care for the smell!!!!
final test...you can see all 3
ready to strain
still smells
promising juice!!!
filtering
discard the used cabbage
ready for next step
add ALUM / I kinda measured it out
made the color look pretty
add WASHING SODA
the videos I watch say be careful of the phizzing..........oopsy!!
got it stirred down
I like the blue, hope it works
very pretty, but nothing was settling at the bottom......
so lets add more stuffs!!!!
same process
all set up, we shall see what happens
got some good separation overnight
poured off the top liquid and ready to strain
and strain and strain
man I hope I get this color....so pretty
finally drained overnight
spread out over 2 coffee filters...hopefully it will dry ok
after a day of drying...smells awful!!
dry pigment chunks
ready to grind
sifting out bigger stuffs
pretty happy with results... hopefully it will make paint!!
had another jar of what looked like really pretty purple juice
magic rocks and filter
purple paste
set out to dry
turning blue.....
all dry ready to grind
even though we lost the purple color is still a good color
ready for oil
