Ftxoa was indeed up to her pale elbows in a paint mixture she was working on. It was a large skin 'pot' made from some creature with a very thick skin. Shaped into a sack of sorts, it hung over a small coal fire and was far enough away to prevent it from burning but close enough to warm the mixture. She was very busy mixing and stirring the thick concoction. It was a purple color; what ever this stuff was.
If asked Ftxoa would explain how a lot of it was fat from kills mixed with petals, leaves and berries. Sometimes she would use insects. It all depended on what she wanted to achieve. Next to her was a very pale impala skin. She and the tanners had been working on making a pale white pelt; this would have to do. This piece of work would be her own personal one.
She moaned a bit as she worked the mixture with her front paws, standing on her hind end and her tail anchoring her to the ground. She even had small smears of the paint on her cheeks and rump.
