Hi,
I want to paint my new didge with my own design and have it painted with "authentic" paint.
Did some experimenting with home made egg-tempera paint.
Made some red and yellow paint from ocre that i collected in Rousillion (France), black with grinded charcoal and white with grinded egg shell.
The colors are beautiful! Even when painted direct on a piece of wood. Did not use any foundation / gesso for the paint.
It sticks to the wood so far and the paint has no cracks yet.
If you have any experience with this kind of paint on a didgeridoo, please let me know.
All tips & tricks are welcome!
Regards,
Mike
Play on folks,
Mike

quote from serioussticks.com
"if it's wintertime in the northern hemisphere, then the relative humidity in Arnhem Land is usually 80% or more. In northern and central Europe for example, the humidity is usually around half that level. Inside houses, with heating, the relative humidity of the air drops again because the air's capacity to hold water has increased and thus the amount of moisture available from the air is reduced again, often to below 30%."
so i decided to buy a humidifier BEFORE my didj arrives but got confused with the variety of units. i need an unltrasonic one which will maintain constant humidity level (switching on by timer and off by hydrostat) equipped with lcd panel.
which one works well for you?
