I was happy with my rock samples until I saw someone made colours from animal bones on instagram. I love the primitive quality and I tagged her on instagram asking for directions. It was really hard to find information on making natural pigment and since she was enrolled in an art school in Europe, it was worth the try. Then I had my minion mum to process some chicken bones and I brought them to the studio.

| Trim off excess fats and cartilage. Boil the bones to remove fats a few times. |
 |
| Wrap the bones in aluminum foil. |
 |
| Use induction cooker to cook until smoking stops. Then continue for another 20 min. |

| Do it outdoors. Making sure I don't activate the fire alarm... |
 |
| Not ready yet but you get the idea. |
 |
| Almost ready. |
 |
| Remove the foil |
 |
| Ta-da! Yet to pound them into powder. Chinese character (黑) - Black |
