Gilded Buddha statuette, Tibet, 13th-14th century AD

Maximalist, and "Late Stage Autocracy" Gilding are good descriptors.

Doing some gilding on my pauldron.

Turns out, I'm supposed to let the glue sit for 30 minutes before applying the gold. My failure to follow directions caused the smearing you see but I learned and that's what's important.

Figured this spellbook project is the perfect time to teach myself gold leaf. Fun!

@anon_opin It’s just a question of where to draw the line. If we’re going to have private property — and not make all larceny legal and squatting legal — then how much is too much?

Of course we faced these problems in the “#gilded age” around 1900 when antitrust laws were invented. We barely talk about that era now, and the discussions our forefathers had, and the responses they talked about.

One thing I will never understand about the richest, greediest, and/or most despotic people on earth ever; the desire to be surrounded by #gold.

This isn't just about #goodtaste, I never even claimed to HAVE any taste. It's about gold being just UGLY. Seeing gold #Baroque, or just #gilded stuff everywhere, it is #literally (as in NOT even remotely #figuratively AT ALL) painful. Seeing too much gold in one place HURTS my eyes.

I can NOT be the only one who thinks this, can I?

I love it to find simple supplies and transforming it into something that can become suprisingly wonderful...
I've cut out the embroidery and it will be stitched onto the #gilded #silkorganza ... I love it how it interact with the organic background! 2/2

I finally found some time to embroider again... honestly, it's my job, but there are so many things to do as a #solopreneur, I often remark I haven't done a stitch a day.... between preparing orders from my webshop, ordering new boxes, reading about embroidery....
this is a first piece of metallic strip #goldworkembroidery for my roomdivider, embroidered on simple mosquito netting! I love it to find simple supplies and transforming it into something that can become suprisingly wonderful...

This big ol #saguaro #cactus is home to a lot of stuff, most notably #cactuswren and #gilded #flicker. With all the recent rains we’ve had the arms were too heavy to support the damaged trunk. This old gal was centuries old and just crashed down sometime this week. The arms can weigh 1-3000 pounds and the entire body can hold 200+ gallons of water. Very cool plants. Also fell across part of the trail, so instead of windfall spruce and fir I have ancient cacti windfall to deal with #biketooter

Old saguaro cactus with a damaged base had a structural failure where all the arms fell off.

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist of the College of Funchal was built in the 17th-century by the Jesuits.

The church shows the transition from the #mannerist style to the #baroque style through the use of #overthetop decorations of #carved and #gilded wood #alters and #azulejos.

How did the U.S. emerge from the crises of the #Gilded Age, and why have those solutions stopped working? A historian examines the murder of a #healthinsurance CEO through a historical lens. https://theconversation.com/how-should-we-look-to-history-to-make-sense-of-luigi-mangiones-alleged-murder-of-unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-245995

The Brian Thompson assassination seems to have focused the minds of the USA's upper classes on class rebellion, if not actual class warfare. But they still don't get it.

Income and wealth inequality in the USA is as large, or larger, than it has ever been. And it's getting worse. It's worse than pre-revolution 18th-century France.

"It won't happen here. It can't happen here!"

Oh, it will.

"No, this is America. Things will be different!"

Correct. This time, the guillotines will say "Made in China".
