Aww, sweetie. If only you could have laid gold gilt on top! “Book Of Kells”. I still am not sure what my daughter dreams of.

I have worked with it—nothing works like gold leaf.

It is why the old Illuminations are still vibrant. Just think of some Missionary in the hinterlands standing before the barbaric illiterate natives and holding up an Illuminated Manuscript in candlelight or the sun. It would have seemed like high magic to them. Good psychology for conversion.
