Aha, azurite! I had thought maybe fuchsite, but that would be too green. How very beautiful it is against the indigo. For the third time (each time this series), my perception/experience of the world is expanded by reading about this artwork.
Why did you decide to omit the tongue of the dragon in the lunar phase volvelle?
Thank you! Fuchsite is not very pigmented, and it's also quite transparent. It's at its best for a tinted glitter effect. Azurite though is another addiction of mine.
I left it out to have the effect of the dragon swallowing the sun!
Beautiful research, I adore the indigo dyed paper and fine illustrations you have created. I have indigo leaves fermenting away, I still haven't got round to making my dye, maybe this will give me the impetous.
"synchornising" and "uzed"

Ah, typos.
This is such beautiful, detailed and well-researched work! Love it.
I've shared it with a couple of astrologers I know who are also artists.
That indigo dyeing looks tricky and messy! But the results are stunning.
Thank you Rionach! Yes it's really not a casual dye, but oh so worth the trouble!

Thank you, and that sounds great! Do you grow the indigo?
I did, it was my first time growing :)
This is amazing!!!!
