Agh, this is so good. I rushed to look up turnsole and found it is a euphorbia, which is very pleasing. Thanks again for a wonderful piece. Sad you didn't take more pictures from the final admixture session, that must have been great to see.
This is marvelous! I love the detailed history and the images, and especially the how-to instructions. I pictured an artist painstakingly tending their vertigris every 10 days. The difficulty in making these pigments really puts in perspective how amazing the paintings and manuscripts are.

Your posts - scholarly, every time - are always, always dreamy. Thank you, Joumana. Deep bow.
