A gift
Ever so often, usually on Facebook, people “discover” that ancient Greek and Roman sculptures were colored. Which is really funny because the trend of discovering it is at least 150 (Tanagra hoard 1870) years old. https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/whats-on/exhibitions/presentation/spectacular-art-jean-leon-gerome-1824-1904
Yesterday I went to the Good Samaritan Miniatures Expo. Haven’t been condescended to so hard since I was a teen, but I saw some amazing things and got an impressive haul of stuff for the kind of prices that don’t wake my inner toad.
I also learned that there’s a miniatures museum in Tucson where a hologram (!!!) follows you from room to room and gives explanations.
So now I have to see it, and also to make for myself the necklace I saw with a miniature cottage inside a pocket watch case (with everything except glass on both sides removed, of course).
