DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

This morning I ran across the word sturt in a poem by Robert Burns. Like most of us, I have a dictionary in my pocket, so I looked it up. Sturt led me to tribute mining, which led me to stannary, which led me to cassiterite.

Who knew?

PREACH IT, BROTHER!

“The habit of reading is the only one I know in which there is no alloy. It lasts when all other pleasures fade. It will be there to support you when all other resources are gone. It will be present to you when the energies of your body have fallen away from you. It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live.”

– Anthony Trollope

NOT ONLY FOR ARTISTS

"In 1930, pioneering archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie published Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World, cataloging over 3,000 ornamental motifs — spirals, animals, rosettes, braids, crosses, and more — drawn from ancient civilizations across Europe and the Near East up to about 1000 AD. The entire book is free to browse and download on the Internet Archive, making it an incredible reference for artists, designers, crafters, and anyone looking for authentic, copyright‑free historical patterns to use in their work. The simple black‑and‑white line drawings make the motifs easy to trace, digitize, or adapt. Used copies of an out-of-print Dover paperback are also available." (Mark Frauenfelder in Recomendo)
