Some wonderfully cool stuff in this week's offering, Tabatha.
The pigments for sale, the bear on snow, the dyeing instructions on the cuneiform tablet are all marvelous.
But the dyed fish was amazing. Not only instructive, but could be framed and on the wall!
Hi, Tabatha. What a variety of images you posted. I especially like the fish and what the dye reveals. (Tomorrow I'm sharing a recipe for cookies with food coloring -- really a dye. We must be on the same wavelength!)
