Also, this has made me think about age. That Wikipedia article on cottagecore talks about it being a young person phenomenon, which feels legit -- my own kids are 30 and 23, and cottagecore speaks to the younger one. And there's been discussion here about the age of Permies and how it doesn't feel like young people are as likely to move in and engage. I wonder if they're being diverted by preoccupation with cottagecore fantasy instead of getting out and making it happen...or something.

“totem poles were painted with a type of fish-egg tempera, consisting of a mineral pigment mixed with a mordant of fresh salmon eggs and saliva. The colors originally were red, black, and green or blue. The red was obtained from hematite, the black from graphite
and carbon, and green/blue from various copper ores common in the
region.”

In my tests, if the paint rubs into the surrounding paper of the swatch once it's dry, I needed more gum. If the paint doesn't dry without being tacky, I needed less honey. Unfortunately, until the binder is made, you can't test it as a paint binder. I usually make several bottles of it when I do, so if the swatch test fails, I dump it all back into a pot and adjust the ratios and try again. Once it's good, I 'can' the bottles just as I would if I were making jelly in a water bath and they last on the shelf for a very long time. Once I open a bottle, I'll keep it in the refrigerator, but they last a long time on the shelf after opened, too.
