[log in to unmask]" type="cite">I remember as a young kid in east Texas, there were rocks that must have been pure iron, such a lovely color of sienna and not too crumbly, but firm, left a good mark. We drew with them on the street pavement. (got scolded for makin' a "mess" in the driveway). But we had such fun with that great color, hours and hours of fun. I still like the burnt sienna color to this day.
Good Memories....TaLinda

Ancient art supplies found in South African cave
WASHINGTON (AP) — Researchers in South Africa have discovered what may have been the world's earliest artist's studio. A 100,000-year-old workshop used to mix and store the reddish pigment ochre has been discovered in Blombos Cave on the rugged southern coast near Cape Town.
The latest find is reported in Friday's edition of the journal Science <http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6053/219.abstract>. It includes pieces of ochre, grinding bowls, shells for storage and bone and charcoal to mix with the pigment.
