Been busy organizing furniture and moving stuff around the house. ended up refurbishing some old kitchen cupboards into water closets for the bathrooms. Handles done with quince and old pipe pieces. Both water sink are repurpused antiques as well, the green is traditionaly to make bread

A little bit of color for the end of the year. Experimenting with hers to make a great smoking blend all from the farm. Here is Mallow, Mullein, Rose petals, Chamomille, Calendula and Tabacco. Any suggestions of herbs?

Hello All, Here is the updated/finish walls with Clay paint. It was quite harder to apply then i had hoped for, had to do it all with hand brush, with the regular roller it didnt work well and wasnt able to find a rubber one. It needed two runs at it, and it was quite more paint than I had calculated. in total I did around 50 - 60 L of paint. Recipe used: 1 part clay fine and dried 1 part masons sand (finest i couyld find) 1 part glue (You can use literally white glue, but i used a mix of cassava and tapioca flour, Half/half to 3 and half parts water. Must be cooked!!) 2 parts water Linsen oil (1 L per 6L of volume of the other parts) Cinnamon, Nutmeg Bay leaf and rosemary (experimenting, the idea is that it works as a natural repelent, not sure if it works though. All fine and passed through filter) Overall I like the result, its a bit darker than I wished. Next ones will be better, brighter and different colors =) PS: even if the spices don't work there is a nice cinnamon smell all around

Hey, Starting tomorrow, we will have a coffee and compost social hour. Everyone is invited, just come and say hi. share you successes and trials. Check the calendar for what time zone you are in.

Hope everyone had great holidays! Anyone with experience with clay paints? Here is a first crack at restoring conventional walls with cob and clay paint. These next days I'll be micxing the clay paint and applying it, will share later the final result, but I'm really happy with the idea.
