  • Gold paint? Er, no. Gold leaf. And silver, though that tarnishes to black pretty quickly. Gold paint is for kindergarden. ;)

  • @ClassicalBookworm Well, a. had to rhyme with saint, b) researched that liquid gold, gold pigment, and shell gold were some of the earliest forms of gilding..gold leaf was considered supreme.

  • They showed this at school were learning bout this its for art class

  • @historyteachers Ah, I see. I suppose "leaf" could rhyme with "belief"? ;) Well, let's just call it artistic license. :)

  • @dsmdgold WOW! You must have watched the video a hundred times! Kudos! Well done! Take a bow! I wonder if Mr H might illuminate us as to how many of them you got right? (They all look good to me, but I am no expert.)

  • A little more extra credit reading... The 100 greatest writers.

    Many of whom, Mrs.B has by some odd coincidence, covered! Go figure!
