  16. @majnouna Best wishes with this project! I remember you wrote earlier about the Umda manuscripts, Omar the Forger, and testing his recipe for an inexpensive indigo pigment which could substitute for lapis:

  21. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦋✨ #Butterfly wing #color comes from #pterin crystals that bend and scatter #light rather than absorb it, keeping colors vivid without fading.

    Chemists developed a faster method to grow these #crystals without toxic solvents, producing small amounts of eco-friendly, non-toxic #pigment. The work points toward glitter made from #DNA-related compounds as a planet-friendlier alternative.

    > Every #pigment in this #catalogue has a paper trail. Where it was first ground, in whose workshop, on whose #canvas it dried, when it was banned, what replaced it. We do not invent provenance and we do not edit out the unflattering parts.

  36. Soudain I, Max Ernst, 1962

    I love all the texture and the strange density, I think reality has a density that you can always stop to appreciate no matter where you are. The layout of this has a couple of large-scale shapes but there's so much more there because of the texture, like every molecule of yellow and blue and orange etc. is interacting separately with your eyes 🤣
