I've been doing regional burns for a while. But after getting off the phone with my boss a few minutes ago.
I have decided to finally make it out to Black Rock City for the 2010 burn. I will also be at Burning Flipside (Austin, TX)
in May.
I have made buckskin the Cherokee way before.
Using freshly murdered deer hides.
I did use the brains but there was no shite involved in the process.
Human or otherwise!
Milk Paint goes back at least as far as the ancient Egyptians.
I often cheat and paint multiple coats & colours with a coat of crackle
and some light sanding on the edges and corners
