Welcome to Jonathan Thompson, new member to our group! We're just getting started up here, Jonathan, so it's a little quiet most of the time. I'm about halfway through on the uploaded tutorials for the paint-making course now, but it's all go at your own pace until you catch up with me and the upload schedule :)

I'm not sure I'll get a chance to put the scheduled video up Wednesday morning, so I'm uploading it in a few minutes. Tomorrow is a day full of getting ready for winter weather this weekend - our water froze yesterday and the line is broken on the mountain, so we'll be working on that, and then moving firewood closer to the house. It's going to be a cold and possibly snowy end of the week out here at Wild Ozark. Y'all stay warm, and look for the northern lights tonight! They may be visible farther south than usual.

Y'all missed a really great Zoom call today. Hope to meet a few more of you next week. Allyssa:)

A short little slideshow of some of the colors from rocks that I spotted on the driveway recently. These are the sort of rocks I use to make the paints. Course module 2 goes into depth on finding and testing rocks to see if they'll make good paints. It uploads on Wednesday morning. Most of the time I'm aiming to get that done before 9 am. It'll be in 2 parts so it's not such a long video.

The next video will be 45+ min if I don't break it into parts. Would you prefer the single video, or two shorter ones? In this one I'm taking you to a few different places around our property to look for rocks and show you how I test them, with and without a creek nearby.
