I'm convinced the virtual dice in Tabletop Simulator roll worse than my character specific sets of clicky clacky Maths gems, the DM has caved in and lets me make my saving throws for my arrows with them 😜

Set up my turntable again recently, spin something from my collection while I eat lunch, like visiting old friends!

I adapted a recipe by David Coles using Langridge historic pigments. My bio banner shows it in a shell and on papyrus. Wouldn’t mind having a go at some Terre Verte one day too.

I've only ever made Egyptian blue. This looks really lush, such depth of colour!

A series of screenshots with the URL of art purchased and nice comments from buyers. I won't be typing them all out as I am vision impaired myself but they are all simple comments about what they liked about the artworks which were sent to me via my Redbubble store Bubblemail.

Being an artist means a lot of alone time & not really knowing what people think about what you do, so it's always a delight to get a message from a customer. If you get an opportunity to give an artist a pat on the back, please do it, times are tough for us & you will really make someone's day. ❤️

I expect a full report! 😻

The amulet is a pale brown colour. He's in a seated position with his hands on his knees, and has a large headdress of a full moon sitting inside a crescent moon. He has some cursive hieroglyphs inscribed down the front of his torso.

Amulet of Thoth in his form as a seated baboon, patron deity of scribes. The crescent & full moon on his head reflect his lunar connection. Dating from around the New Kingdom, the amulet is only 5.5 cm tall, and is in the collection at Manchester Museum. Photo © me

The papyrus is decorated with line drawings in black ink. Osiris is sitting on a throne, wearing the double crown of Egypt and holding a crook and flail as a symbol of royalty. In front of him is a large lotus flower with deities standing on top, and behind him a papyriform column. Along the top of the papyrus are some hieroglyphs and two rows of seated underworld deities. At the very top is a row of stars.

Osiris on his throne in the Hall of Judgement. Detail, just a few cm tall, from the Book of the Dead. The papyrus is broken where it was rolled up, and the fragments had slipped inside the glass, so I realigned them in Photoshop

5,300-year-old ‘bow drill’ rewrites story of ancient Egyptian tools A new study reveals that Egyptians were using a mechanically sophisticated drilling tool far earlier than previously suggested.

Quite interesting, I'm familiar with simple copper 'tube' drills used with bows demonstrated by Denys Stocks, but this discovery shows there's much to be discovered by examining small objects in existing collections with modern techniques.

'A gasp of wonderment escaped our lips': The dazzling discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb In a BBC archive clip, archaeologist Howard Carter describes the moment on 12 February 1924 when he and his team became the first people in 3,300 years to meet the Egyptian boy king.

Howard Carter:
"Among all that regal splendour, there was nothing so beautiful as those few withered flowers. They told us what a short period 3,300 years really was."
A tiny floral wreath from a loved one connects us to our ancestors in a way that 'bling' just can't.
