I couldn't say why, but it feels like just the right word to describe what it actually is.<br /><br />I like your theory that artist-scribes used the technique to mimic the shimmer of light over polished marble--it certainly accomplishes that. <br /><br />Fascinating post.

Looking at the various illuminations I've featured, I have to think that even though it was hard work, obviously, there must have been a certain joy to laying on the colors, determining the balance of gold to blue or red, watching with satisfaction the execution of a perfect line, and then savoring the whole and thinking, "I did it! That's my work!" Of course, I am not, and never have been, an artist, but that is how I imagine it is. Looking at your own work and forgetting for a moment that it IS yours, and acknowledging that it is good.Diana Wilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074083771067857127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080048310531382107.post-21474353029674019992015-04-08T05:30:24.152-07:002015-04-08T05:30:24.152-07:00It's amazing how much the touch of gold around...It's amazing how much the touch of gold around the edges changes my opinion of it.
