The verdigris-covered dome and golden finials of Ocean Chambers on West George Street in Glasgow have a special place in my heart. They are one of the first architectural features I remember looking at in Glasgow when I was young and thinking 'Wow, that's amazing!'.

The name verdigris is thought to originate from the French for green of Greece. Despite being poisonous, verdigris was widely used in architecture and art as it was the most vibrant green pigment available until new man-made ones were created in the 1800s. You will see it on many domes across Glasgow.

Love this copper dome, finial and weather vane on the top of the Connell Building on West George Street in Glasgow.
They are green because they are covered in verdigris, a pigment created by a chemical reaction between the copper and acettic acid (the main component of vinegar).

After a quick flush to the nib and feed, it writes beautifully. I was expecting a dry writer, and I was ready to nib swap, but it's quite wet and smooth.
I filled it with Rohrer & Klingner Verdigris, it's a beautiful tealish-blue black ink.
My writing still sucks though.

@sofiaritz I agree, not unlike RPi’s recent example of bad faith, RPi isn’t in the ropes due to their miscommunication missteps (Sony believes in them), but if not GNU Rust may have to rename to #Verdigris or #Haeme if they aren’t already taken.
This is one of my boldest abstracts, I think. Titled "Cri de Coeur," iot features a distressed industrial patina of verdigris and blood red.

stumbled across an article by @ebkalderon using nom for basically the same thing I am with my language project! I don't have time to fully process it before heading into work, but this'll be a huge help while rewriting my mess of a parser. https://eyalkalderon.com/blog/nom-error-recovery/

One of the more unusual columns in the #ParisReview, but one I enjoyed tremendously: ‘Hue’s Hue’, all about specific colours, their history and meanings. I particularly enjoyed this article on #Verdigris, touching on the Statue of Liberty, #DaVinci, Farrow & Ball and more.
“To use verdigris was to accept that your lovingly rendered scene would one day sour…Such is the nature of beauty.”
