natural decorating

I get zillions of emails every day from people who are doing exciting green things. Today I received a press release about these new natural paints. They look really interesting - a new range of natural paints, available in nearly 100 colours, that come in powdered form in paper packaging - how cool. Free from petrochemicals, phthalates and formadehyde, they are made from natural extracts and minerals with non-toxic pigments. You simply mix the dry powder with water and then apply, and apparently they are quick drying and easy to use. Naturepaint founder Ross Harling says, "Even the clean up process it easier [compared with regular paints], as it rinses out with water and any leftovers biodegrade with garden compost - and no tins means nothing is added to landfill sites." Prices start at £10.66 for a 400g bag, which makes a litre of paint. Ooh, there's even a YouTube video on how to mix up the paint - reminds me of those poster paints you get at playschool!
