what's Codex Obscura?

Codex Obscura is an NFT collection consisting of 329 editioned Meme Cards (#483) released on the 6529 platform by multidisciplinary artist Joelle LB (@joelle_lb). The artwork depicts a piece crafted with iron salts, handmade botanical inks, acids, minerals, discarded pigment extraction liquids, and rust applied to paper. Licensed under CC0, the drop funds the artist's natural pigment and dye research, addressing the lack of documentation in this field through self-developed reproducible processes via trial and error. Proceeds support building a comprehensive codex of color swatches and recipes. Holders receive exclusive access to a gated wave on 6529, featuring ongoing experiments, recipes, failures, step-by-step methods, and material lists prior to public sharing, fostering community involvement in advancing natural dye practices.
