This storage and usage method applies to all versions of the previous, present, and future kits that we know with love.

It's extremely important to know that keeping the natural colour pigments would mean to use immediately after mixing with any forms of liquid, glycerine, and/or oils. It's best to pour the ingredients out on ceramic plates, palettes, tea-cup sized cups, and any beautiful eco-friendly and/or paint-holding containers for art creations.

While we have noted that we store everything separately, i.e. powder with powder and liquid with liquid, we hope to clarify the usage and storage after use.

For the paint in a tea cup, we are using it without consuming at all. It's for creative art creation. The darker paints on bowl/cup/plate would let us intuitively mix in any colour for a darker colour and/or to play with its intensity, gradients, as well as the other experimental variations.

There are a few options to care with the remaining paint while we advocate for the loveliest use of everything.

1 ~ Store in jar, but use within a day to avoid spoilage. Please note that if this choice is chosen, we have to remember it or else it might become slimy or stinky that require more in-depth cleaning afterwards (we've experimented it and so we'd like to share about our happenings in the past). Always know that any mixed mixtures can only be stored to be brought to another place to be used and finished up immediately. Then, the container is to be washed thoroughly and sanitised (with clean ways of antibacterial essential oil or plant-based mix and/or distilled water or slightly hot water that's not too high of the temperature so that the container wouldn't crack, and many more options depending on the material and type of the containers.
2 ~ Dry it off to reuse it later. This is the preferred option as it ensures a safer way. However, it may or may not dry depending on the humidity of the environment, clay ratio, and the other factors of the paint, etc. So, in order to fasten the drying process, there could be an additional kaolin clay pigment being introduced into the mixture. It is provided in the base of some of the kits. For the kits that don't, you may also place it near somewhere that's warm enough to evaporate the liquid, yet not directly putting it under the light as the colours may fade if under direct sunlight. There's much experiment to it while we provide the ways we knew and tried.

With that, happy creating and enjoy this lovely experience!
Thanks, with love!



Future updates:
We update the lists, new findings, and our ways of communicating from time to time. Hope we grow together. If you need updates, please let us know your email. No spam, just love, thanks again!

*subjected to change according to seasonal ingredients & new natural findings provided by nature. Thanks, with love!

Collaborations:
If you have collaboration ideas from eco-friendly production teams/manufacturers (which we are finding in the near future), any suggestions, feel free to share with us on Instagram @acceptedbynature or directly find our founder, Chee. Glad to see you here, lovely kind soul!
