About a month or two ago, we set about creating a short video to enter in Current TV’s so-called “Ecospot” contest. Although we didn’t make the cut as a semi-finalist, we can at least share the fruits of our labor with you now. Just for some background info, the theme of the Ecospot contest was global warming, and contestants had up to 60 seconds to create a video centered around inspiring solutions to the climate crisis. Anyway, here’s what we came up with.
(As a little note, if you happen to watch our DRTV videos on Revver, you can help support us by clicking on ads at the end of each video. We receive a small share of revenue for every click! Although we wouldn’t condone clicking on any ads elsewhere, hey, at least this one serves a good purpose!)

Lately, there’s been a lot of building work going on around Dancing Rabbit, including everything from the continuing progress on Ironweed’s cob/straw bale hybrid kitchen, to the frame construction of the Milkweed Mercantile, and to Dan’s urbanite foundation construction for his soon-to-be straw bale house.
So for this episode of Dancing Rabbit TV, we’re taking the opportunity to provide a “how-to” natural building lesson, an in-depth video about earthen plastering techniques and application. Tamar guides us through every step of the way, showing how easy it is to make natural plaster from just a few simple ingredients (there might be one somewhat surprising ingredient in there, too!), and both making and mixing the plaster, and then applying it to a natural home wall. Anyone who might have some curiosity or interest in learning more about natural home building, or specifically earthen plastering is encouraged to take a look!
