    Good thought! I used to have it painted white & red ala "The Wall". The dye was made from a tumeric paste (tumeric + water) that I rubbed all over to make it yellow, wiped it off, and then thinned out some blue food coloring and rubbed that on until I liked the deepness of the green. Curiosity satiated! Then a single coat of polyurethane.
    That's wild! As I read that paragraph I got to "tumeric paste" and stopped. Why isn't the entire thing yellow? Then I read on. It has a bit of that ceruse (? think that's the term) vibe.
    I miss the 80's (girls) !!!

      Ceruse! I had to Google it. Glad it has a bit of sophistication in the presentation, lol. I honestly had a blast creating patterns with the blowtorch to remove paint in some areas, crackle the stock poly in others, build out interlocking color areas... and then rip it all off to play with food dye, lol.

      Bonus is that after the food dye, the tone is much juicier, meatier, and spicier.
