Much , .

Tucked inside Harvard is a library unlike any other, one that protects some of the world’s rarest colors. We’re talking pigments made from extinct insects, crushed gemstones, rare metals, and even ancient Egyptian mummies. It’s called the Forbes Pigment Collection, and it holds over 2,500 samples that capture the history of color like a secret rainbow museum.

These aren’t just pretty powders, they’re stories in a jar. Each pigment tells a tale of science, culture, and even controversy. Some are so rare or toxic they can never be recreated. From the vibrant blues of lapis lazuli to the eerie red of mummy brown, this hidden archive preserves the shades that once painted the world… and may never exist again.

Now this is upcycling…💗

Toilet paper rolls turned cool sculptures!
Artist Junior Fritz Jacquet takes empty toilet paper rolls and turns them into works of art. He coaxes and creases them and then finishes them with layers of color and varnish, for an effect that's nothing less than remarkable!

Knowledge that must be shared.

Before commenting on the post itself, I will ask readers to peruse the 13 comments I made below discussing how women have historically been shut out of their proper due in the realms of music, art, and writing.

Louis Maistros compiled these quotes by mostly male artists.

I understand this…

“My parents used to tell us: with what little you have, be a blessing to others. But my father also said this: don’t let people smell your money. I didn’t know what he meant. But what he meant is: when you have things, don’t announce it. Because once you announce it, people smell it. The aroma gets in them, and they start to make it theirs. They’ll start to think: I need it more than him, he can give some to me. And they’ll come up with a thousand reasons to get it from you. Don’t get me wrong, they’re real reasons. But six months later: here comes another one. You’d think that the more you do, the less you’ll need to do. But it doesn’t seem to work that way. With a lot of people, the more you do, the more they seem to need. It’s not good psychologically. And it’s not good economically. For my whole life I’ve been the person people come to. But I’m almost sixty now. I’m not where I want to be, so I’m slowing down on the giving. I still want to be a part of the whole thing: pay it forward, be blessed to be a blessing. God is love, but God is also discernment. And I can’t let other people’s emergencies cause me to have an emergency.”
