Paint Made From an Egg and Colored Dirt

One egg yolk and a pinch of ground-up colored earth is a real paint recipe people have used for centuries.

Morris's second paint: egg tempera. Mix an egg yolk with water and a real earth pigment — the same iron oxide that gives colored dirt and rock its color — and you've got real, lasting paint. Different binder than her cheese-based casein paint, same idea: real color doesn't have to come from a hardware store can.

About Sage Morris

Rat Roth's twin, and his exact opposite in volume — where he's loud color, she's the quiet one who somehow gets the final say on which green actually belongs in a room. Knows the real casein paint recipe and can name a color mixed straight from local geology. Making a space feel like someone meant it isn't decoration to her. It's the actual job.
