Handmade Watercolor Paint

[rev. 9.19.25]


Hey Besties!

I’m overwhelmed with appreciation and love for all those who have supported me ever since I embarked on this journey into watercolor making, palette designing, painting and so much more.

You have truly been the force behind my every move, inspiring me to keep creating new color blends and palettes and so much more! 

All Watercolor Travel kits have free US shipping and I’m going to try to keep it that way. 

Add-ons and lighter weight items like heart-shaped half pans, paper pads, half pans, cardstock frames, stickers, etc have free US shipping for orders over $25.

Stay tuned on socials for updates, tutorials, streams and more.

Paints are all handmade by me myself and I (CJ) in small batches then measured and poured into leaf molds and allowed to air dry for anywhere from 10-15 days depending on the individual pigment. 

Exceptional care and attention was taken to sculpt clay into the perfect palettes that will fit the molded paints perfectly within them; after several trials, hand and machine sanding to shape palettes and smooth edges so they'll fit perfectly in our travel tins, we've landed on our current leaf palettes that hold 8 of our  paints. 

Our first batch of paints were all the same volume, despite the visual tricks being played on your mind by the different sizes of leaves, they are all filled by volume using a syringe to ensure they all have the same quantity of paint which is 0.5ml  which equates to the size of a mini pan. Starting with such small quantities allowed me the opportunity to carefully monitor and document the formulation and drying times to be able to replicate this process for future batches while reducing waste from failed batches; I keep and use the "failed" batches of paints in different forms for my mixed media projects and have since repurposed these into sample cards as well as fugly travel kits which include imperfect palettes, dented tins, and the same paints but maybe less pretty upon first glance.

Leaf palettes are filled by volume and are either mini pan (0.5ml) or quarter pan (1ml)

if looking for larger quantities as well as more vibrant synthetic colors like phthalo blue, quinacridone magenta, pyrrol scarlet and more check out our heart shaped half pans which are filled to half pan (2ml) but in reality I overfill them. These pans are an alternative I found to traditional plastic watercolor pans and are made of wheat and biodegradable, plus you can connect them together like a little puzzle.

Again thank you so so much for all the support and I can’t wait to share more with you all!
