Homemade painting paint

The eggshell is basically calcium carbonate, the same mineral that for centuries has served as a white "filler" in paints and plasters, as in the tradition of gesso and old wall plaster. When ground very fine and mixed with a binder diluted glue, it becomes a matte, good-coverage paint that applies naturally over paper, wood and clay walls.
