At a manuscript gathering last night at Standford—a Korean manuscript was shared. The whole thing was written/drawn in shell gold—even the guide lines. It was the most beautiful and shiny shell gold I have seen. It has convinced me I need to sit down and grind my shell even more! Guess I know my weekend tv watching activity.

The photos do not do it justice! The shell gold was so good it almost looked like flat gold leaf.

Image: Koryo sutra in gold, Korean, c 14th century, lotus sutra, vol 3, ch 5, 6, 7. Gold ink. Accordion folding album.
