    Such knowledge about many things and how labour intensive producing simple artefacts, pens, brushes, colour, tools etc is just phenomenal!!! Had no idea that it took so long to produce just one book!!! Thank you!

    Amazing work. Really shows how laborious it was to make even one page.

    You're incredible help to me. I'm working on manuscript art myself and was trying to figure out how to get that greenish blue color used in the Lindisfarne gospels, which I had thought to be expensive malachite. You're a real life saver.

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you so much for sharing your making of this masterpiece of yours with us all who are as well hyped about hand making manuscripts like the famous Celtic Gospel ones!
    Your two illuminated pages there at the end have the amazing look of a hybrid between the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Book of Kells!! Stunning! Absolutely beautiful!
    Will you completely write out all four gospels and make your own Named Copy of the Gospels?!?

    Truly breathtaking!! Cannot wait to see how you bind them into a manuscript.

    Donncha MacGabhann mentioned your work this morning while presenting his work on the Book of Kells during a Zoom meeting of The Research Group on Manuscript Evidence. So glad he did because this is terribly interesting work that you are doing. Thank you for this.

    Once again Thomas you've enlightened me! Fascinating as always. Now I know how to make my inks from scratch. Note your comment on the length of time it takes. Folk don't always appreciate that aspect of Anglo-Celtic Art.

    Perilous indeed. Verdigris is highly toxic as well.

    I think it would be a good idea to wear nitrile gloves
    with regard to the potential poisonous substances being used.

    • @tr33m00nk
      @tr33m00nk 8 місяців тому

      Yes. Or at least scrub hands/feet/face well soon after exposure to such potent poisons (fumes also toxic when these chemicals are heated).

    Only one dirty little tuft downtown.
    My feet were so flat they were like parchment on the bottoms.
    Why would they do it to heem.
    I called and can't get an answer.
    I feel certain me old feet would appreciate a tuft in theem old window.
